Change Modification Date?

[Funkymatt]

All,

I am planning on using a command to remove files that are older than 7 days from a test folder. When I copied them over obviously the mod date changed. Is it possible to

A) Change the mod date to greater than 7 days? or
B) Move the files over again (from another server) without manpulating the date modified?

Thanks,
Matt

This should do what you want:

touch `date +%m`152002 YOUR_FILE_NAME_HERE
This should reset the file date/time to Dec 15, (TIME: 20:02).
