This is not as simple as it would appear, the date/time would need to be set after all of the content within the folder is transferred. If the date/time only needed to be set when creating the folder then it would be much easier but changes with the folder will update the modified date/time of the folder undoing our work. (FlashFXP shows the modified date of a folder, this is done to match the logic of remote servers that report the modified timestamps)

Is there a specific reason why you want to sync the folder date/time to match the server?

Yes, the date should be changed after the last file of that folder was downloaded. Maybe a folder timestamp sync feature that you could run anytime after the transfers are done would be more feasible.

Several people have asked before about this functionality. I think since you can preserve the file timestamps it makes sense you could also preserve the folder timestamps. For archiving purposes you want to keep folder dates to have an idea about how old they are without having to go into each folder and look at the files timestamps. It's the same thing that transfering folders and files from one drive to another one. Sometimes you want to keep the original timestamps for different reasons.
