Pure-ftpd: Change the default group of loggedin users [SOLVED]

So the problem I have is that when I upload files via pure-ftpd to my http folder they will have ancide:ancide as the user and group.
For apache to be able to run those files I have to change all the files manually so that they are ancide:http or http:http.

So my question is, can I change so when I upload files in the http folder they will automatically have the http group set?

Or is there a better solution to solve this problem?

Thanks!

I've never used pure-ftpd but can't you configure chmod from withi the program, or use umask?

Is pure-ftpd running as the ancide user or...?

set the setgid in the directory and change to the desire group.

chmod g+s upload
chgrp http upload

I came up with a solution to solve this.

By using pure-ftpd with mysql in the database you can set the uid and gid of the ftp users!

The problem for me was that I had to download the unsupported pure-ftpd-mysql and compile it myself, but that's another story.

Thanks for the replies though.
