Well, scp(1) has a -p option that allows this, so if you can convince him to switch to using ssh for file transfer (which they really should anyway....). You could give them FIleZilla, http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/FileZilla_FTP_Client says "Option to preserve file timestamps on downloads (all protocols)" (and it makes sftp look like ftp, so you can push for using a secure set up). It's not a function of the server at all. -Nick
