    Explain some FTP stuff for me

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

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

    Code:
    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

    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.
