many thanks Daniel,

I have enclosed a small segment of how I did it. somebody may be interested

// ---------------------------------------------------------
long filetime;
curl_easy_setopt(_curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1);
. ...do the curl stuff here.
.
.
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME, &filetime);

struct utimbuf utb; utb.modtime = utb.actime = filetime;
if( utime( filename, &utb ) == -1 ) {
   error something wrong maybe permissions!
}

// -----------------------------------------------
regards
