If you changed your default umask from 022 to something more strict and
get Error 403 for your website after putting your _site's files via
ftp:
Your file permissions are not what the need to be for your webserver.
Remove the _site directory:
rm -r _siteBuild your site with:
(umask 022 && jekyll build)Using
jekyll serve here worked not as anticipated, so I'll stick with
removing _site after using serve.

What a mess!
What I said above is not always sufficient, files in pages or _includes are not affected by the jekyll build.
Those files seem to be just copied with their original permissions.
To find all files with wrong permissions, go to the directory you want to check and do
find \! -perm 644 -type f -o \! -perm 755 -type dDirectories need
755 and files need 644.
To automatically change permissions you need two steps:
find \! -perm 644 -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find \! -perm 755 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
