would like to have rights 775 while directory creation

hi,
i have a problem with rights on my Server!

if i create a new directory "e.g. Test" via ftp using jaymin user on
my Linux Server,
the directory become the rights drwxr-xr-x jaymin jaymil Test.
where jaymin is the owner, jaymil is the group and Test is the
directory

i would like to have rights on this directory ...
e.g. drwxrwxr-x jaymin jaymil Test

i have not the rights write for others or group.

it is not realistic to change the rights with chmod every times after
a
update via ftp!

i use umask too, but that don't work really

how can i change the rights automatically??

thx

So you are using the "standard" umask "022" which results in "755" for new
created files and directories. All seems to work well.

you should consult your ftp server's documentation on how to set the umask
globally AND for individual directories. You should also make sure, you
understand how the "umask" function works. It is not forcing certain
permissions, it is masking some out. So you have to check that

1) the original files have the right permissions before you transfer them
2) the umask for the directory you are transfering them to is not set to
mask out any of those permissions you need.
