Yesterday I asked:

I received several useful responses:
1. Quick and dirty: (which I did): Create a script that is called
by inetd that replaces in.ftpd and contains the following:
#! /bin/sh
umask 022
exec /usr/etc/in.ftpd $*
Thanks to: csmoko%earth@relay.nswc.navy.mil (who also suggested #3)
matt@oddjob.uchicago.edu
magi@csd.uwo.ca (though he suggested using a C program rather than a script)
2. Add "umask 022" at the beginning of each /etc/rc* file. Apparently the
modes in effect for ftpd are those of inetd when it is started in /etc/rc.

3. Get ftpd.wuarchive.tar from ftp.uu.net, /networking/ftp. This adds
capabilities beyond the present Sun ftpd, including the capability to
change modes within an ftp session. However, the standard Sun ftp client
does not understand how to send these commands. If you need it, though,
there's a copy of ftp there, too, which will issue the SITE commands
needed for this capability.
