Old-style Frontier usage in OS X world

[TQ White II]

A listing is below. It shows the user 'tq' (aka, me) has a directory 
called 'Sites'. Inside that is a directory created for this 
experiment by Frontier called 'tempDir'. You can see that tempDir has 
severely restricted privileges.

There is one bit of confusion here. Frontier is not running on the 
OSX box. It is running on my old OS9 machine, as it has been for 
years. It uses Fetch to send files to the web servers for my 
websites. That works fine except this new website which is running on 
an OSX box. The new machine (an old iMac running Jaguar) works fine 
except that its ftp function does this weird permissions by default.

I had trouble with the files it created, too. However, Fetch has a 
function that sets the default permission for uploaded files. Not so 
for created folders.

So, I think the solution is to change the OSX ftp function default 
for folders it creates to something a little more webserver friendly.

Thanks for the help.
