Is there a way to keep the original file date when downloading from server with nautilus ftp? Like it is now, the file has as date / time the downloaded date / time and not the one in the server?
As a workaround, wget does that by default. From the manpage(manual page):
--timestamping
Turn on time-stamping.
--no-use-server-timestamps
Don't set the local file's timestamp by the one on the server.
By default, when a file is downloaded, it's timestamps are set to
match those from the remote file. This allows the use of
--timestamping on subsequent invocations of wget. However, it is
sometimes useful to base the local file's timestamp on when it was
actually downloaded; for that purpose, the
--no-use-server-timestamps option has been provided.
For nautilus, you may want to submit a bug report (feature request): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=nautilus
