Everything seems to be working normally. New files and new directories are created with the properly permissions when the user creates them by logging in to the console or through Windows. However, when files are FTP'd from a Windows Desktop or when the FTP client is used to make a new directory, the file permissions for the new file are wrong. The FTP client can adjust permissions on individual files, but not on directories (there is no option for it).
On the recommendation of an article at Xperts Exchange, I tried creating a file called /etc/default/ftpd and putting umask 002 in the file, then restarted the FTP server (rather inelegantly -- I had to reboot the machine since I don't know the command to restart the FTP daemon). This did not help.
Each user has umask 002 in their .profile on the server, but this does not seem to affect this.
Ideally there wouldn't be a need for ftp anymore, but some of our developers still use it for certain projects.
Any ideas would be useful. Thanks. :)
