I was into the Fetch FTP web site and this is what I found - it looks like
these commands can be disabled:

Technical Details

1. What are the ADAT and MACB commands I see in the Fetch Transcript window?
My server does not recognize them.

Fetch sends the ADAT command to find out if the server supports Kerberos
security. That way it can warn you if you aren't taking advantage of
security options supported by the server.

Fetch sends the MACB command to find out if the server can interpret and
generate MacBinary format. Most Mac FTP servers can, and taking advantage of
that capability makes transfers more reliable.

FTP servers are supposed to return an error code if they get a command they
don't support, so sending these commands should be harmless. But some
servers, particularly proxy servers, are touchier than they should be and
erroneously drop the connection when they get an unfamiliar command. So the
Obscure Options button in the Misc section of Preferences includes options
for not sending these commands.

Thank you for your time.
