Since curl itself doesn't even attempt to change the time of the uploaded
files, you can safely assume that this is a feature of your FTP server
software.

libcurl sets no time at all. The server sets it.

If your server supports setting time with the MDTM command, you can try using
that. Otherwise, I don't think there's any documented ftp command that sets
the time of a file. MDTM is not present in any RFC.
