For RLANCASTER and others who don't know how to decode UNIX "ls -l" listings
(which is what you get from typing DIR to an FTP, when the other end is a UNIX
box) here's how to decode the info:
lost+found is not interesting; it's a directory where fsck (the file system
repairing program) will link files it finds that do no thave directory entries.
There will normally be nothing there.
mjb appears to be a private directory for Mark. It's mode is 700 as you can
see
when you DIR the top level;
drwx------ 3 124 3 1024 Aug 27 21:52 mjb
The first string means its a directory(d), and it's owner can read (r) write
(w) and search(x) it. (x is usually "execute", but that doesn't make sense on
directories.)
The next three dashes (---) mean no one in the group 124 can do anything, and
the last three dashes mean no one at ALL can do anything, other than mjb
himself.
The next numbers are the UID of the owner (3), the Group ID of the file (124),
the size (1024 bytes), the last modified time (Aug 27 21:52) and the name of
the file.
