No, that's not possible.
I don't see the necessity either. You have 500MB to maybe 10GB on your SD-card maps. And another 50~150Kb on other data. Why separate that?

The reason for this question is:
I use Filezilla on my pc and an ssh-server on my phone. I can easily transfer files from my pc to the internal storage of my phone. But unfortunately I cannot directly transfer  files from my pc to the sdcard.
There are other ways to transfer file from pc to phone but I prefer this one.
I have tried to change the permissons of the sdcard but with no positive results.

Will Filezilla support sftp or plain ftp? If so, you might try
"primitive ftpd" from the F-Droid store
(https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.primftpd/).

It supports ftp and sftp, and it also supports the newer Android
"Storage Access Framework" which is often necessary to be able to
read/write to an external SD card in newer Android versions.

Google made changes in the Android security requirements that have
limited the ability of apps to generally read/write anywhere on an
external SD card. They are migrating to only allowing access through
the "Storage Access Framework" subsystem.
