I don't know the answer in general, but in the case of creation time,
there is no such thing on a Unix/Linux filesystem. Perhaps if you
were running an SSH server on Windows or some other platform that
supports a creation timestamp for files that could work, but not on
Linux/Unix.

Whether this is supported would depend on the client (e.g. libcurl),
the protocol, the server (e.g. OpenSSH) and the OS that the server
running on.
