really.

DW4 uploads = 644.
WS-FTP uploads = 664

For any FTP client, the default should be 664 as the umask is 002, both in
proftpd.conf and /etc/profile.

It appears that DW4 is imposing its own umask of 022. The dreamweaver
newsgroups have a spattering of identical complaints, all implying a server
dependency, but not a single one has a reply/solution.

The problem is twofold:

If a user is just uploading files and continually publishing revisions to
the server from a local copy, then the 644 isn't a factor. However, now I've
got several coders working on a project at once, and while DW's version
control is fairly rudimentary, it would work well enough but obviously with
644 users can't share files to others in the group. The solution is to
change permissions every time you upload a file, but why on earth should I
have to do that!!?? This is unbelievably one place where FrontPage <shudder>
does something right, and DW totally screws the pooch.

And as you mention, admin can't change these either, only root or the file
owner.

What gives?
