Files created through sFTP are always 777

Posted on May 28, 2014

Hi :) I followed these two tutorials to setup my Server:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-12-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-12-04

I want to login to the server with my IDE (Aptana) and create/edit/delete files:

sudo chown -R my-user:www-data /folder-name

This worked, I was able to create files and folders, but these folders all have the 777 file permissions. Is there a way to change this behavior so instead they are created with 755?
