Having umask 0022 is the default for many, but not all, ftp servers. vsftpd has a default of 0077, for example. This results in new files not being readable by anyone other than the user, and so if the webserver is running as its own/another user, WP cannot see them. Possible solutions: 1. WP should check umask, and change if necessary, prior to creating them. 2. WP should chmod newly created files/directories to the prvileges it expects. 3. WP should check privileges on newly created files/directories, and report a failure if they are not what it expects." defect (bug) closed normal Upgrade/Install 2.7.1 normal duplicate reporter-feedback needs-testing
