chgrp www-data /home/web/html
chmod g+s /home/web/html

and maybe set the user environment mask to 022 (umask 022) in case its setup to 077.

Good luck!

How is the file uplaoded? Through FTP or an upload script through HTTP?

If it's through FPT, changing the default umask to 002 should fix it. You will find the option in the configuration of your FTP server.
