Answers are only for using Sun FTPD:
These are the two most common. Thanks for all the responces. And sorry if
this had just been asked recently. I don't always have the time to read
this list. though I try. If only there could be more hours in a day!

Use a wrapper on /usr/etc/in.ftpd,
Wrapper: /usr/etc/in.ftpd.umask
#!/bin/sh
umask 022
exec /usr/etc/in.ftpd $*
Remember to chmod +x on the wrapper.
Change ftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftpd.umask in.ftpd

3.48) How can I prevent daemons from creating mode 666 files?
By default, all daemons inherit the umask 0 from init. This is most
problematic
for a service like ftp, which in
a standard configuration leaves all uploaded files with mode 666.
To get daemons to use another umask execute the following commands in
/bin/sh
and reboot:
umask 022 # make sure umask.sh gets created with the proper mode
echo "umask 022" > /etc/init.d/umask.sh
for d in /etc/rc?.d
do
ln /etc/init.d/umask.sh $d/S00umask.sh
done
Note: the trailing ".sh" of the scriptname is important, if you don't
specify
it, the script will will be executed in
a sub-shell, not in the main shell that executes all other scripts.
