Is it possible to let the server decide the value of the umask, or add the option to set the umask. Prior to version 10.19, the value of UMASK was determined by the service. In the current version, whatever value the server has set umask to is invalid, it becomes the fixed value 0022 set by FFS.

FFS doesn't change the server's umask. Regarding permissions: Not sure if setting permissions for all files is the best solution. Maybe instead, FFS should try to preserve the permissions of existing files:
