How to synchronize only timestamps with WinSCP?

I am trying to update only timestamps with WinSCP. I can't find many examples online so I am asking here.

synchronize timestamps -filemask=" | *.txt; *.log" "source" "target"

I have tried this command, but I keep getting an 'unknown option' message. I have tried -timestamps and variations of this with no luck.

Documentation doesn't have any examples. It mentions it can only work with SFTP so I am unsure if there is another parameter or switch to do that.

The timestamp synchronization functionality is not directly available in WinSCP scripting.

But you can set raw configuration option Interface\SynchronizeParams using /rawconfig command-line parameter:

winscp.com /script=yourscript.txt /ini=nul /rawconfig Interface\SynchronizeParams=256

Then the following command will update remote timestamps, instead of remote files:

synchronize remote -filemask=" | *.txt; *.log" "source" "target"

(analogically for local)
