That's not a stupid question at all. That answer....on the other hand.... As far as I know the transfer type is purely a client side configuration matter. In other words -- I doubt that you can (via ftp). (I wouldn't mind being proven wrong on this. However I'm sure that ftp.cdrom.com and the maintainers of simtel, cica, garbo, and other popular ftp sites would have done this long, long, long ago -- if they could).
