If the resource fork is being removed there is no real way to recreate  
it (unless pagemaker does so)

There may be a configuration change that you can make to preserve the  
resource fork (many popular servers do so with auxiliary files/folders  
typically ._filename)

Baring that the best bet is to zip the file and then put it on the  
server
