when i upload files to the server via ftp i get a file permission of 644

does httpd.conf hold the settings for this?

if so how can i change it to 777

is it local_umask=777
??

When you upload files via FTP it is the file-server that sets the permissions of the files. So you have to configure the FTP server to change that.
By the way, the umask is the octal complement to the file permissions. For example, if you want the permissions to be 755 the umask should be 022. In your case it should be 000.

would that be in the vsftpd.conf?

which line controls this?

I use the the line

Code:

chown_upload_mode=644

in vsftpd.conf to get the permissions I want. In your case you should of course replace 644 with 777.

does this make sense then?

Code:

chown_upload_mode=777
local_umask=000
