I just upgraded to the latest version and the settings are as you suggest. So I'll see how it goes.

Under Basic settings there will be Directory creation mode. Set this to 0755. Set File creation mode to 0644 and you should be right. These are octal numbers that correspond to unix file permissions. Ie in 0755, the 7 stands for the permissions of the user, the 5 for the group and the (other) 5 for others. You add up each component of the permission you want to grant. Read is 4, write is 2 and execute is 1. So 7 = 4+2+1, and you are giving Read/write/execute rights. 5=4+1, so you are giving read and execute rights, etc. You can get further details from a unix filesystem tutorial.
