vsftpd

Please forgive me if I'm posting this in an inappropriate place. I'm still new at interacting with the Drupal community. I am learning to setup webservers. Fun! I think I'm almost there, but need some help. Below is the situation as best as I can describe it:

****Software
Ubuntu 10.4
Vsftpd
Apache2
Phpmyadmin

****Relevant Users
admin
www-data (apache – I think)

****File structure
/home/admin/drupal6_root
/home/admin/drupal7_root

****Config Files
/etc/profile - added umask 002 at end of file
/etc/vsftpf.conf - adjusted local_umask=002

****Issue
