I've been using FTP to upload and download BP programs from WinEdit.
Periodically the FTP process changes the permissions on records to
-rw-r----- normally they appear as -rwxrwxrwx
New files should be created according to whatever umask is in place at
the time. The info page on ftpd shows the -u switch can be used to
set a default umask and the default is 027 (-rw-r----- as above).
However, you won't be able to get a umask to set the execute bit, nor
should you need to for any unidata files or progs. The closest you
could get to what you want above would be a umask of 000 (-rw-rw-rw-)
although as always, think carefully about setting world write or
execute bits.
HTH,

For files to be created as -rw-r----- it would be using the default
redhat umask of 002. I'm not sure
