preserving the timestamp of a file when copied from remote server to local server using ftp

Hi,

I need to copy few files from remote server to local server.
I write a shell script to connect to the remote server using ftp and go to that path. Now i need to copy those files in the remote directory to my local server with the timestamp of all those files shouldnt be changed.

Code:
 
ftp -nvi svag1017 << EOD
user username passwd
bin
cd /users/users-03/p494856/learning
mget file1 file2 file3 
close
bye
EOD

when i run this, all the files are copied to the local server but the timestamp shows the time, when these files were copied. But i need these files with the timestamp same as in the remote server.


Could someone help me to solve this?

Regards
Arun
