Many files have a lot of details associated with the file such as creator (user), system created on, software, etc. With video files like AVI or mp4 in Windows I can right click on it, select Properties and there is a window with 4 tabs: "General, Security, Details & Previous Versions"

What I am mainly interested in is looking at the Security and Details tabs and whether or not they can be edited or altered or cleared.

Does anyone know if this is possible in Linux or where it can be viewed in Linux? I use Ubuntu is that helps at all.

Thanks in advance!

In every major Linux GUI file manager, you can right-click on a file or directory to bring up a menu; the right-click menu will include an item for viewing and editing its properties. My preferred Linux GUI file manager is Konqueror. I think the default file manager in Ubuntu is Nautilus.

In the command line, the command ls -l will provide the same information, but you need to understand how Linux file permissions are displayed in the output of ls to interpret the output.

Hi,

also don't forget the "stat" and "file" commands for getting more information.
