SFTP and umask

[Drew Boone]

The umask for sftp on my server appears to be 066, which doesn't  
allow httpd to read the files for web service. Does any one know how  
to change the umask for sftp?

I have scoured the web and this list for help. I have noticed a patch  
available that adds some functionality, but I would rather not have  
to uninstall and compile OpenSSH myself.

RHEL ES v 4
OpenSSH 3.9

You can use rssh:

http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/

It may impose limitations you don't want to impose, but it will allow
you to set the umask.
