listing all the permissions recursively

How do I list all the directories/files' owner/group ownership permissions recursively?
Ex) /var/www/html/...
I'd like to list all the directories/files and their owner/group and permissions info.
If I do ls -l, it shows me the same level directories/files but not the sub-directories and files.

Thx!

Code:

$ ls -lR

For other useful options, man is your friend

Code:

$ man ls

Or if you use KDE, type man:ls in to Konqueror's location field.

If you only want to see that info (file name and permissions) and nothing else, you can do

Code:

find /var/www/ -exec stat --format='%A %n' '{}' \;

Or %a if you wish to list the permissions in the -shorter- octal format.

Code:

man stat

To see all the available formatting codes.
