You may have to use "quote site chmod 666 afile" or "quote site umask
111" for clients that don't have a "site" command; most Un*x and some
other FTP clients have a "quote" command to allow you to pass
arbitrary server commands to the server.  Even this isn't guaranteed
to work; the "site" subcommands are unspecified by the standard and
are certainly not universally implemented, even among Un*x-based FTP
servers.
