Well, I did figure out one way that seems reasonable... since I am using pureftpd, I changed the upload mask in the pureftpd configuration so new files are created with permissions like: -rw-r--r-- 1 customer customer 93177 Apr 20 20:12 image.jpg This seems like a pretty good approach, but if there's a better one, I'm all ears! -- John
