Let me first say that there are loads of topics regarding this, and I am sure i have seen them all by now. Still non of the solutions seem to help.

I installed vsftpd. created a user ftp-data. Now I need that files uploaded by user ftp-data would have 755 permissions. Solving this should be as easy as adding:

local_umask=002
file_open_mode=0755

but that did not help, then I have tried a number of variations of this, still did not help.

The I added:

chmod_enable=YES

still did not help.

At the moment I think that I am missing something very simple and obvious, just cant find it. Maybe someone could help me to find what I am missing.

This is my config file:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=002
anon_upload_enable=NO
anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO
dirmessage_enable=NO
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
listen=YES
local_root=/var/www/ftp-gallery
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
