Change the date and time of a debian server

To change the date and time of a Linux server we will do it with the date instruction in the following way:

date -set «year-month-day hour: min»

For example:

date -set «2013-07-02 18:46»

To see the date that appears in the BIOS can be obtained with the instruction  hwclock

In the same way we can change it with

hwclock -set -date = »2013-07-02 18:46"

If, on the other hand, we want to connect to an ntp server or a time server, we will have to configure the ntp service in debian .
