[Cialug] Streaming USB webcam video

[Matthew Nuzum]

That sounds like your ftp server might have a umask setting causing that.
Maybe you have the ability to control the configuration and can change the
default umask. However, you can use ftp to change permissions. If the task
is scripted you could just add a chmod 666 after the put.
