[ale] Help with chmod

[Mark Angeli]

Yea, that seems that creating a file that could be executed would open a
huge hole in the system.

That did the trick however I can only get 664, not 774...not that it really
matters, but it seems that umask on a file subtracts from 666, not 777 which
is only for directories.  It looks like you can't make a new file be created
with execute permissions.

You have to configure that in your ftp server -- most let you control the
permissions and ownership w/ which files are created
