Explain some FTP stuff for me

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?

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

I suspect your B is:

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.

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

Thanks
