Is the remote system doing a push or are you doing a pull of the files. If the remote system is doind a push of the files onto your system, then you may want to include the date and time of the file built into the name of the file and when it comes over to your local machine there will be a visual indication of the date and time when the file was last created/modified in the remote system.
It may be possible to do the same if you are doing a pull from the remote system too.

rdate

rdate(1M)                                                 System Administration Commands                                                 rdate(1M)

NAME

       rdate - set system date from a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       rdate hostname

DESCRIPTION

       rdate sets the local date and time from the hostname given as an argument. You must have the authorization solaris.system.date on the local
       system. Typically, rdate is used in a startup script.

       The inetd daemon responds to rdate requests. To enable inetd response, the lines invoking the time command in inetd.conf must not  be  com-
       mented out.

USAGE

       The rdate command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
