I did eventually track down the secret for getting modification date (and size for files). It appears to be the "-I" option, which only works for a single file.


For example on what I'm assuming is an OSX machine:

% url -I  ftp.apple.com/filemaker/distribution.txt
Last-Modified: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 21:04:48 GMT
Content-Length: 44
Accept-ranges: bytes
%

And from the manufacturer of a Windows FTP

% curl -I ftp.ftpx.com/pub/ftpx/testfile.dat
Last-Modified: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 15:43:55 GMT
Content-Length: 16777216
Accept-ranges: bytes
%

So this seems to do the trick, although I haven't found out how to use curl to determine the operating system so I can verify that the same format is returned for different OSs.
