This looks like a umask problem.
What are you using to upload the files? For example proftpd FTP server
has a setting to control umask which by default will create world and
group readable files (umask 022). If you are using something else, you
may want to check the configuration file for a similar setting. If this
is a user's home directory, you may also wish to check umask settings in
the shell startup files.
