The current version of ftpcopy (0.6.2) appears to work, though it has decided to use file times that are five hours earlier than the times mirror used (argh!).  A little work with touch worked around that.

Confirmed.

For mirroring I use a Valhalla system with ftpcopy-0.3.10-1beta and
assumed 0.5.2 would work fine.

The reason is that ftpcopy by default tries to stay compatible with
as many FTP servers as possible. Hence it does not acquire UTC file
modification times and cannot translate remote time to local time.
