No, you can't disable the globbing globally in the ftpd, as
fas as I know. I think it would be a bad idea anyway, as
some clients might find it very useful. I also think it's
a bad idea to use shell metacharacters in filenames.
You can simply quote/escape the metacharacters if needed,
e.g.
cd "\{3\}"
