# rclone touch
Create new file or change file modification time.
## Synopsis
Set the modification time on object(s) as specified by remote:path to
have the current time.
If remote:path does not exist then a zero sized object will be created
unless the --no-create flag is provided.
If --timestamp is used then it will set the modification time to that
time instead of the current time. Times may be specified as one of:
- 'YYMMDD' - eg. 17.10.30
- 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS' - eg. 2006-01-02T15:04:05
Note that --timestamp is in UTC if you want local time then add the
--localtime flag.
```
rclone touch remote:path [flags]
```
## 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.
-t, --timestamp string Use specified time instead of the current time of day.
```
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
