By default umask is 000
ie.e. rw-rw-rw-

you can do a
ftp>umask 022

which should put files with the required permission.

If it is for all users change in your /etc/inetd.conf file

ftp stream tcp nowait root /etc/ftpd ftpd -u022

Re-read your /etc/inetd.conf file using

/usr/sbin/inetd -c

If you want all your FTP users to have a particular defualt umask, then you need to set it in inetd:

Edit inetd.conf the line for ftpd from:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/tcpd /usr/lbin/ftpd -ld
to:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/tcpd /usr/lbin/ftpd -ld -u 022

Then HUP the inetd process. kill -HUP PID-of-inetd

HTH.
