chmod works the same within a script as it does from the command line. You have two options..you can either have the permissions changed before the file is ftp'd across (so that your users is able to access).....or you can change the permissions once they arrive on your server....but to do this you'd need to be the user that transferred them...or root.
If you can be root...... then you can do this from the command line with 'chmod 666 filename' (or instead of the filename user '*' for all files at that location - careful with this one)- will grant read and write access to these...you might want to look at chown as well....but you'll have to look that one up for yourself. Can't give you all the answers!

tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server
Syntax
/usr/etc/tftpd [ -r pathname ]
Description
The server, supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). The TFTP server is invoked when receives a packet on the port indi-
cated in the TFTP service description. The server is not normally started by default from
The use of does not require an account or password on the remote system. Because of the lack of authentication information, will allow
only publicly readable files to be accessed. This extends the concept of public to include all users on all hosts that can be reached
through the network. This may not be appropriate on all systems however, and its implications should be considered before enabling TFTP
service.
The server should have the user ID with the lowest possible privilege.
Options
-r pathname The pathname can be the choice of the user. For example, would allow only files below to be copied using
Restrictions
This server is known only to be self consistent, that is, it operates with the user TFTP program, Because of the unreliability of the
transport protocol (UDP) and the scarcity of TFTP implementations, it is uncertain whether it really works.
The search permissions of the directories leading to the files accessed are not checked.
