rclone touch
Create new file or change file modification time.
Synopsis
Set the modification time on file(s) as specified by remote:path to have the current time.
If remote:path does not exist then a zero sized file will be created,
unless --no-create or --recursive is provided.
If --recursive is used then recursively sets the modification
time on all existing files that is found under the path. Filters are supported,
and you can test with the --dry-run or the --interactive/-i flag.
If --timestamp is used then sets the modification time to that
time instead of the current time. Times may be specified as one of:
- 'YYMMDD' - e.g. 17.10.30
- 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS' - e.g. 2006-01-02T15:04:05
- 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS' - e.g. 2006-01-02T15:04:05.123456789
Note that value of --timestamp is in UTC. If you want local time
then add the --localtime flag.

Options
-h, --help help for touch
--localtime Use localtime for timestamp, not UTC
-C, --no-create Do not create the file if it does not exist (implied with --recursive)
-R, --recursive Recursively touch all files
-t, --timestamp string Use specified time instead of the current time of day
Options shared with other commands are described next. See the global flags page for global options not listed here.
Important Options
Important flags useful for most commands
-n, --dry-run Do a trial run with no permanent changes
-i, --interactive Enable interactive mode
-v, --verbose count Print lots more stuff (repeat for more)

Listing Options
Flags for listing directories
