Firstly what type of server is it not all handle permissions of uploaded files the same. Possibly using a program such as Rbrowser which allows setting permissions on the server of FTP'd files through a GUI may work. Another possibility would be to try and set up WebDAV on the server. Dreamweaver MX & MX2004 supports this and this way permissions aren't changed on upload. Another method is to use a Folder Action Script if the servers running OS X and have it set so any files uploaded to a particular folder or recursive folders are set to the right permissions. All of these suggestions apart from the first require you to either have Admin access to the server or a very co operative ISP.
