... and I haven't tried this myself, but you should be able to subclass
the builtin file object and prepare your own read() method.  Something
like

class ProgressFile(file):

    def read(self, size = None):
        print '.',

        if size is not None:
            return file.read(self, size)
        else:
            return file.read()

May need some tweaking.. then store the file as

ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, ProgressFile(file, "rb"), 1024)

Give it a try..
