I should add that I don't necessarily have to work with tar, *any* tool that can do it is fine by me, say cpio, scp, and so on. It's just that tar, according to its documentation, at least *seems* able to preserve time and atime (and permissions of course). If someone knows of any other tool that can move files between computers and preserves those 3 things, that's fine by me too.
