# 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.
```
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 (implied with --recursive)
-R, --recursive Recursively touch all files
-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.
