using sftpfilecontrol /umask

[keropen <keropen@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've set up an upload-only account on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server.

(OpenSSH_4.7p1+sftpfilecontrol-v1.2 Debian-8ubuntu3.2sftpfilecontrol)

In order to make the files readable to whom it might concern, I have 
setgid flags on the upload directory, and have set group ownership etc.

I'd like to force all files to be group readable, and I am trying to use 
sftpfilecontrol (http://sftpfilecontrol.sourceforge.net/) to manage the 
umask on a per-user basis. However, I can't get it to work. (As I am 
running a LTS server, I can not upgrade to  openssh 5.#)

Does anyone have experience with managing these kind of setups?

Thanks for your help!
