group permissions would be irrelevant. 'other' access would be for an

user if you want to spend the time looking this up. execute permissions 
would be
for folders that you have permission to cd into.

group would just be a constant string ('nogroup' or 'unknown'). This 
Unixism doesn't
map to zope (or even some flavours of Unix...). Make sure owner is only
exposed if the authenticated user actually has rights to look this up.

You should only need modification time for FTP, although it would be 
useful to have
these timestamps available for other things.
