The default umask for wu-ftpd 2.4.2-beta-13 is 002.
Since most users on most sites are in the same group, all files created by
users PUTting files would be group writeable by anyone.  Not a good thing.


  I contacted academ software regarding this issue on or about March 13
this year.  The problem was present in beta-12 and beta-13 (perhaps
earlier releases too).  There should hopefully be a patch in beta-14.
I have pasted the request number below...

  [ACADEM-SW-SUPPORT #257] UMASK in wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-12
has been received and assigned a request number of 257.
