I can't find what are columns when I use ls -la
For example:

-rw------- 1 myuser root 3272 may 14 16:30 my_file

-rw------- 1 - access rights
myuser - owner of the file?
root - ?
3272 - ?
may 14 16:30 - date of modification?
my_file - name of file

In order:

- type of the item

    d   a directory.
    b   a block special file.
    c   a character special file.
    l   symbolic link.
    p   first-in, first-out (FIFO) pipe special file.
    s   local socket.
    -   ordinary file.




rw- permissions for user read, write, but no execution
--- permissions for group; none here
--- permissions for others; none here
1 is the amount of links (see stat my_file) 
myuser is the owner` 
root is the group
3272 is the size in bytes
may 14 16:30 last date changed
my_file is the filename

Regarding the ls -la: the -l shows a long list of files, the a shows hidden files if there are any (those start with a .) Omit the a if you want to use it for normal.
