It seems Apple is using a new FTP server (lukemftpd) as compared to 10.1.x. There are some good changes (forget ftpchroot) and others I'd like to overcome:
When logging in as a normal ftp user (10.2.4 client), your files get written without "everyone readable" permission, which is unusable for a website.
How can I change that? (Please ask for clarification, if my description was insufficient).

Setup: Mac OS X 10.2.4, web-/ftp server running, multiple users set up with System Preferences running their websites (VirtualHosts in httpd.conf).
