look in proftpd.conf for Umask, it determines the file permisions set by
default (but they are inverted from the umask value) so for example
umask 022 gives you rw-r--r-- and 002 gives you rw-rw-r--

note that the umask that appears before the <VirtualHost lines if for the
entire server...put a new Umask in the Virtuallhost block if you want to
just change it for one site/IP (remember all sites sharing IP's get that
setting)

Be *very* carefull if you allow anonymous ftp, ;)
