Typically, for reasons of security, this is not something that an ftp server will allow you to do. If this is something that you will need to do on a regular basis the administrator of the ftp server can configure the server so that the correct ownership and permissions are assigned to the uploaded files.

There are two ways to solve that (without bothering the server admin):

1) get a web script (like webadmin.php or make your own) that you can use to upload files with.

-OR- (the better/easier solution)

2) chmod 666 file

FTP, as with most other means of file transfer, doesn't preserve unix-style ownership information.
