I had the same problem originally when uploading files to my computer at home. I fixed it by doing the following: in the directory /etc create a new file called ftpd.conf (if it's not already there). In this file put the following line: umask all 022 save the file. It should belong to owner root and group wheel. This should fix the default permissions. By the way there is a Dreamweaver extension called Set Permissions, that works like most regular set file permission functions in regular FTP clients. It's by Jay London.
