Is the /home directory sgid as well? I believe this is why the other
directories become +s. Either way I personally prefer to setup
adduser.conf to not create groups for each user but instead use group
users or staff, then you can chmod -s /home.

The permission you showed will do that. Each user is created with their
own group, meaning that group permissions only apply to them.

This has to do with possibly your ftpd, not sure why it uses that umask,
but see if it is defined in the ftpd config somewhere, it's also possible
that you ftp client is doing this intentionally from some setting, have
you tried another ftp client perhaps a unix one?
good luck
