Explain some FTP stuff for me

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Today is your lucky day, you have an oppurtunity to help me with some FTP stuff :D

Can you explain these columns? Also what is the technical name for the structure we see below?


A B C D E F G H I
drwxr-x--- 8 user group 4096 May 26 2009 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 user group 4096 Feb 21 2009 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 3585 Jun 13 2009 .htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 524 Apr 27 2009 admin.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1865 Jun 13 2009 article.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1771 Sep 7 2009 contact.php

A: Permissions
B:
C: User
D: Group
E: Size
F: Month
G: Day
H: Year
I: Name

Am I right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but what is B?

I suspect your B is:
Directories - The amount of links or directories within the directory. The default amount of directories is going to always be 2 because of the . and .. directories.
Linux / Unix ls command (http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uls.htm)

A file normally shows 1 here.

This isn't an "FTP" issue, but an issue of the directory format returned by a particular FTP server. They often mimic the system's standard shell's ls/dir command's output closely.

Excellent! That's the resource I was looking for :-)

Thanks
