ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 18
The vsftpd daemeon will create file permissions as 0777. From that, the local_umask ( 0011 ) is subtracted. The umask essentially removes the permissions you don't want users to have. This results in the user's file permissions to be set at 0766.
For more information, see this article about file permissions.
ANSWER 2
Score 1
The umask value is subtracted from the open mode setting. If you don't provide a custom umask value, the default one (077) is used, leading to a result you don't want.
