umask is not used for ftp, because your shell is not used for ftp. Your .profile is not read, not processed, and of no use to ftp.

However, when whoever or whatever ftps the file, they can run the chmod command on the file after it finishes being put on the destination server.

Hi:

You can control the file mode by adding a umask value to the 'ftpd' daemon as spawned by 'inetd' in '/etc/inetd.conf' ('-u umask') and by using the 'ftpaccess' file (and adding '-a' to the 'ftp' specification in 'inetd.conf').

See the manpages for 'ftpd', 'ftpacess' and 'inetd' for more information.

Regards!
