Miscellaneous Options
This page contains options that don't really fit in any other category. Most useful is the table in the second section that allows you to set the nice level (process priority) for FTP sessions by class. A negative nice level gives the session a higher CPU priority, while a positive nice level gives a lower priority. On most operating systems, the allowable nice levels range from -20 to 20.

The bottom table sets the file permissions mask for new files and directories by class. For example, a umask of 0700 would give newly uploaded files permissions of 077 (---rw-rw-).
