If you are not sure about the umask value of your system means just execute the umask command. It will give the exact value. and confirm it whether it is 022

When in the ftp session the chmod applies to the remote server. I think you need to issue the chmod from unix shell after the ftp session finishes.

Code:
sftp <server detail>
get abc xyz
bye

chmod 666 xyz
