Can File Manager alter file dates?

[douglasa]

I have a CRON script that will take action upon certain files based upon their age (i.e., last modified date). I want to test the function so I need to upload several files and then assign their dates to values in the past. Is this possible with the File Manager application, or is there an *nix system command I must use?

You can use the touch command from the linux/unix shell.

Note that you'll need rights to write to the file's current directory.
