I assume that, as a part of the security, FTPD writes all files as 740 permissions. How do I change the umask for FTP? The .profile umask is set to 022 but has no effect. I want to do this without messing up any security that is being provided.

You can set permissions with your ftp client on a session-by-session basis with the following command (at the ftp prompt): site umask 022 All following transmissions during your ftp session will then have the correct permissions. Many Win-clients also allow this command to be issued.

Thanks
