I don't think this will work over FTP, but it's a start for you.
touch: func [
{Set the modification timestamp of the file.}
files [file! block!] "The file, or files, you want to stamp"
time [date!] "The date and time to stamp them with"
/local rd-only
][
; We have to turn off the read-only attribute if it's on.
foreach item compose [(files)] [
rd-only: not get-modes item 'owner-write
set-modes to-file item [owner-write: true modification-date: time]
if rd-only [set-modes item [owner-write: false]]
]
]
