What are you using to put the files over (ftp, scp, ...)?
What are the defaults for the user you are signing in as? (Check the umask of the ID that you are using by logging in normally and using the umask command)
It may be that you can change the default of the umask for that userID (not recommended but anything can be done).
Personally, I would come up with a different way (script, note of apology, live with it). Changing the default umask is not good as far as security. Why do you want these files to be more than read?
