It's because mc keeps the time stamps of the remote files (and of the 
remote directories when these are selected too) when having them 
copied to the local directory.  

A VERY NICE feature ;-)

I need the access to those files (as described) only when handling ftp 
copying (VFS, ftpfs). So it seems not so easy to achieve (reading your 
lines). Or am I misunderstanding you? Is it easier as it looks like?
