Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have proftpd running under user
proftpd. I have a new virtual server in ProFTP called
"example.com" pointing to /var/www/example.com. I have chowned
the /var/www/example.com folder with user "example_com" and
group "www-data". I have set the directory as SGID (2775). This
permits the FTP user "example_com" to login and upload files and
folders, while permitting the Apache process user "www-data" to
run the website and read/write to files.  In my proftpd.conf, I
have set umask like so:  Umask 2664 2775   How do I turn on
Group Write in ProFTPD globally?  share|improve this question  2

answer I had to use Umask 002 002 make it work with both files
and directories. –  ciastek Jul 8 at 14:59   You are mixing up
the actual permissions on a file and the umask. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask for an introduction.
