I don't believe that the CFFILE tag supports retaining that date. The  
result structure, named CFFILE by default, contains a property named  
timeLastModified, however in my tests that is not the actual last  
modified time from the client's machine. In inspecting the HTTP  
traffic between client and server during a file upload, I did not see  
Safari or Firefox communicate the true last modified time of the file  
in the Content-Disposition header of the multipart POST. I'd guess  
that MSIE behaves similarly.

I don't believe a ColdFusion mechanism exists to do this, but it's  
fairly simple with a bit of Java. There is some sample code on my blog:
