Very Computer

I have created an user id for used solely as an ftp account.
ie, it serves as an automated ftp connection for copying files
from one unix machine to another.  My question is this, whenever
I test it using a 'put filename' I find that filename's permissions
tend to be only 'rw-r-----' which is sort of a problem, because
once the file has been transmitted, it needs to be accessed
by some other programs which needs to move it to a different location.
Now because the owner for these other programs are different, it can't
do these operation because of the permissions above.  Is there a way
that I can set the account up so that whenever I put a file into
the remote machine, then that file will have permission like 'rwxrw-rw'?

thanks in advance,
please email

Sure a couple of things (4)

/etc/profile if user umask 022
smit user info umask 022
.profile umask 022
or
a shell script from cron to 666 the file....
