Use "stat" to piece it together:
[n6tadam@station n6tadam]$ stat -c '%a %A %G %U %N' *
644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `trymr'
644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `trytrytry.wav'
644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `typical.png'
600 -rw------- n6tadam n6tadam `ugh.pdf'
644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `vsound.wav'
as an example. See the man page. :)
