Changing a file’s Date Created and Last Modified attributes in linux
Easiest way – accessed modified will be the same:
# touch -a -m -t 201512180130.09 fileName.txt
Where:
-a = accessed
-m = modified
-t = timestamp – use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] time format
If you wish to use NOW just drop the t and the timestamp
- You can add *.txt file to change the attributes of all the txt file.
For example:
# touch -a -m -t 201512180130.09 *.txt
- To verify they are all the same: stat fileName.ext
