Never tried to do that with an ftpd, but I think you need files uploaded by
members of the "developers" group to have permissions
-???rw???? <anybody>/developers
which implies a umask where the next-to-last digit is either 1 or 0.
Directories should be
d???rwx??? <anybody>/developers
which implies a umask where the next-to-last digit is 0.
("?" = "don't care")
The important thing is that files end up with group read & write permission,
and with the owner's group being "developers". Same for directories, with
the addition of group execute permission.
It's probably undefined if joeblow, member of the group "developers", tries
to read this file:
----rw---- joeblow/developers
uuugggooo
Permission is denied based on the "user" permissions, but granted based on
the "group" permissions. I'd test that to see what happens.
