A PowerShell function to perform timestomping on specified files and directories. The function can modify timestamps recursively for all files in a directory.
Change timestamps for individual files or directories. Recursively apply timestamps to all files in a directory. Option to use specific credentials for remote paths or privileged files.
I’ve ported Stompy to C#, Python and Go and the relevant versions are linked in this repo with their own readme.
Usage
-Path: The path to the file or directory whose timestamps you wish to modify. -NewTimestamp: The new DateTime value you wish to set for the file or directory. -Credentials: (Optional) If you need to specify a different user’s credentials. -Recurse: (Switch) If specified, apply the timestamp recursively to all files in the given directory.
