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.
- C# version.
- Python
- Go
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.
Usage Examples
Specify the-Recurse switch to apply timestamps recursively:- Change the timestamp of an individual file:
Invoke-Stompy -Path "C:\path\to\file.txt" -NewTimestamp "01/01/2023 12:00:00 AM"- Recursively change timestamps for all files in a directory:
Invoke-Stompy -Path "C:\path\to\file.txt" -NewTimestamp "01/01/2023 12:00:00 AM" -Recurse - Use specific credentials:
