It would be nice to set the destination file's date&time to match the source file's date&time using touch.

So far I'm unable to find a touch command in adb shell. Asked in Stack Overflow, let's see if such thing exists...

For phone to PC this shouldn't be a problem. For PC to phone maybe busybox is required then?

Or just have default permissions that allow the user to read and write to

looks like it exists to me:

$ adb shell
shell@hammerhead:/ $ touch 
touch: no file specified
1|shell@hammerhead:/ $  touch --help                                              
touch: usage: touch [-alm] [-t YYYYMMDD[.hhmmss]] <file>
