Another good point. Thanks again. I just can't believe DW4 insists on a
umask of 022 and that it's not user configurable.

The reason it's a problem is for sharing files among a team. If you're the
only user/uploader on a given site, it's obviously not a problem.
Dreamweaver is intended to be used in workgroups, as indicated by the built
in version control functionality. However, everything is 644 which requires
the owner to change to 664 before anyone else can have access. I don't
understand why this doesn't piss more users off. Seems really, really stupid
to me.

If I can't change it at least it feels better to vent a little.  :)
