    Hello and Welcome!

    Check out the man page for ls
    Code:
    man ls
    You'll see all options for ls.

    Not sure how to show date and directory... never needed to try it.

    For the third, I googled "permissions" and got this link:
    Linux permissions

    *EDIT*

    Even better article:
    File Permissions - Linux Forums

    Thanks! The links were helpful. I was able to figure everything out except the darn date and directory one.
