Mairi,
2 ways.
1) Have user issue "umask 022" EVERY time she/he ftps' in! :(
or
2) Change the line in /etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
to
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a -u 022
and then "kill -HUP ($pid of inetd)"
This (option 2) will change for all users.
