I have a folder with many files. The files have been created by many different users. I do not know about shell scripting.
I need to get the list of the username (only) of the owners of the files.
I may save the output of ls -l and then parse it using perl python etc...
But how can i do this using shell scripting?

User: A user is the one who created the file. By default, whosoever, creates the file becomes the owner of the file. A user can create, delete, or modify the file. Group: A group can contain multiple users.
The normal method would be to right click on the file in Explorer, select Properties, click the Security tab and click Ownership. This will then show the current owner and give the option to take ownership. You could perform on *. * to list owners for all files in all subdirectories (no need for any /s switch).
Let's start by talking about the ownership of Linux files. User: the owner of the file (person who created the file). Group: the group can contain multiple users. Therefore, all users in that group will have the same permissions. It makes things easier than assign permission for every user you want.
File ownership and permissions. Just as every user has an ID and is a member of one primary group, so every file on a Linux system has one owner and one group associated with it.
