.htaccess permissions

Hi guys,


When I try to create a .htaccess file via SiteWorx, it creates it with the following permissions:


-rw------- 1 foobarxx foobarxx 1028 Oct 2 17:52 .htaccess


(chmod 600 owner read/write only)


This causes Apache to be unable to read the file, and the site to display "You don't have permission to access / on this server." when viewed via a browser.


I can log in via SSH and issue a chmod 644 to fix up the issue, but I'm not sure why the initial permissions are being set as they are by SiteWorx.


Any ideas?
