Can I attach parameters to a file I want to FTP?

I want to FTP a file into a directory which actually runs a process. The process requires a parameter on the file. The instructions are

PUT inputFileName outputFileName;application;contenttype

where the process needs to know the content type to look for.

Is there any capability to do this, or am I going to have to go back to the old way?

This cannot be achieved by FTP.
