ftp creation of a new file - permissions of group

[ui05067]

scenario
box1 sending filea to box2 using ftp and user login: hci

file permissionson box1 for filea: -rw-rw-r-- 1 hci staff

directory "abc" on box2 permissions are: drwxrwsrwx 7 hci staff

umask of box2 user hci is 002

why is the file being created, filea, havepermissions of: -rw-r----- 1 hci staff ????

Why arent group permissions of file filea are "rw-" ?

aside: when im on box2 and log in to user hci and touch file "dog"....permissions are rw-rw-r--..what i desire.....

cause downt the road i want a utiliting script in the same group as staff to be able to delete the file.

You can set the ftp umask in /etc/inetd.conf

ftp ... ftpd -l -u077
