a typical problem in a multiuser environment.
as long as the ftp-/ssh-user you use to work on the server is not the 
same as the apache-user it is recommended to share a common (primary) 
group and modify access to 664 for files and 775 for folders

find . -type f -exec chmod 664 '{}' \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 775 '{}' \;


a chown will help you until the next access via ssh or ftp where you 
either can not access existing files and folders or create files or 
folders apache can not access any more.
