The FTP client doesn't read your .profile (or equivalent) when you connect, so it has no way to know what your umask is. You should be able to set the umask on the client. If you are using a command-line client it is done via the 'umask' command (surprise!). There may also be a global config file in /etc which controls this setting. Hope that helps.

PAM_UMASK(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_UMASK(8)
NAME
pam_umask - PAM module to set the file mode creation mask
SYNOPSIS
pam_umask.so [debug] [silent] [usergroups] [umask=mask]
DESCRIPTION
pam_umask is a PAM module to set the file mode creation mask of the current environment. The umask affects the default permissions assigned
to newly created files.
The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places in the following order:
o umask= argument
o umask= entry of the users GECOS field
o pri= entry of the users GECOS field
o ulimit= entry of the users GECOS field
o UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
o UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
OPTIONS
debug
Print debug information.
silent
Don't print informative messages.
usergroups
If the user is not root, and the user ID is equal to the group ID, and the username is the same as primary group name, the umask group
bits are set to be the same as owner bits (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007).
umask=mask
Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask & 0777. The value is interpreted as Octal.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS
The new umask was set successfully.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
No username was given.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known.
EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to set the user specific umask at login:
session optional pam_umask.so umask=0022
