changing Hash printing options for FTP

Hi!!,
I usually have to ftp massive files ~200MB. The default hash printing option marks a hash for every 1024 bytes. Any ideas how to change this setting to some other value??

I know no one like to see logfiles of size ~2mb just filled with hashes..

I do not believe it is possible to change the value without recompiling the source. An alternate idea is to use the 'tick' command which is supported by some versions of ftp. Or you could just turn off the hash marks entirely.
