If possible you might want to switch to scp or sftp (I'd go for scp) since it offers encrypted file transfer and public key authentication as well as other helpful options.
Should you decide to go this way, there is plenty of guides on the web and in this forum how to set up a public key authentication with ssh/scp/sftp.
scp has a -p flag that will preserve mtime, atime and modes.

I am not aware of a similar option for plain ftp.
