umask not working, change permissions at write

[chrisduck]

Whenever a user logs into my server and saves a file, the file is saved with -rw-r--r--. Multiple users need write-access to the file. I need -rw-rw-r--.

I've changed the umask to 002 in /home/user/.bashrc, /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf and also /etc/profile. I've also rebooted the machine to restart all services.

Still, users are writing files with -rw-r--r--. What's going on here?

What program is being used to save the files? It might be resetting the umask to a stricter one

I assume from your post you're talking about people uploading files through proftpd?

I would have thought that ignores the bash umask anyway, but to double check it's taken effect just log in as a normal user on a CLI and
