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
