How to change a File's last Access/Modify/Change Date?-CodePudding

I have some files on a scratch drive of a HPC server. The server automatically deletes files which are 2 weeks old.

Using stat filename.txt I can see the follow information. Is there a way to somehow open/touch/manipulate files to update the Access date to prevent deletion without actually changing the file?

File: ‘name’
Size: 2583438768    Blocks: 4819945    IO Block: 524288 regular file
Device: xxh/xxxd    Inode: 10354xxxx  Links: 1

Use the Linux touch command, eg:

$ touch filename.txt
