    Original below. FTP doesn't read the .profile. Found the SITE command
    supported by the ftpd, which solves the immediate problem.

    ftp> binary
    ftp> site umask 002
    200 UMASK set to 002 (was 022)
    ftp> put somefile

    Also found HPUX supports calling the ftpd in inetd.conf with a call -u
    022, and the client session inherits the umask of the account running
    the ftpd. Didn't find the -u in the Tru64 man pages and didn't try it.
    It may be possible to run ftpd out of another account.

    Best Regards, Blake

    trying to ftp from one Alpha to another and have the permissions arrive
    as 664. Doesn't seem to matter what the source file permissions are,
    the target always arrives as 644. The target server /etc/profile umask
    is 022, the account used for ftp has 002 umask in the .profile.
    Touching a file becomes the desired 664. Any ideas?
