Nope.
This is inherent to the ftp protocol itself.
What you can do instead is encoding the file to be transferred into
MacBinary on the server side - the client would have to decode it after
transfer.
I did not try to set up something like that myself, but there exist a
bunch of ftp servers that can automagically encode files they serve as
.tar or .tgz on-the-fly if the client asks for the corresponding name.
Therefore it should be possible to plug-in the same functionality for
MacBinary.
