Automatic image permissions?

Hello - I am currently using a script called Flinx for listing the fanlistings that I have joined. Everything is working happily except for when I upload an image.

I have a SmallBusiness plan with Yahoo and since I needed to change folder permissions, I downloaded SmartFTP as Yahoo recommended. With Flinx, I need to upload pictures regularly into an image folder so I set the image folder permissions to 777. But whenever I do upload from the Flinx admin page the individual picture permissions come up as 600, meaning that the pictures come up as errors with those little x's in the middle.

Soo, in order to view these pictures, I have to change them all manually to 644.. There has to be a way for the pictures to automatically be set as permission 644. Does anyone know what it is?

You don't know how much time this would save for me. Thanks! :D
