user list had a fix two days ago, here it is

Seems that they don't install a new proftpd.conf file I edited 
/ect/proftpd.conf
I edited that file

# Restore file permissions capability to site administrator
<Global>
#AllowChmod on


In other words, edit the /etc/proftpd.conf file
put a "#" in front of the AllowChmod on
The setting are different for this version.

more research,
Unless you are going to deny chmod, you need no entry at all
