Assuming you're on a *nix box, I'd second revdiablo's suggestion

Funnily enough, my suggestion does not really require a unix machine. Most of the good utilities have been ported to many other operating systems. Consider the following from my local Win32 box:

U:\>find . -printf "%m %u:%g %p\n" | tail
777 ctilden:Domain Users ./SRID
644 ctilden:Domain Users ./trans.csv
755 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS
644 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS/ArtGalry.Cag
755 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS/system
644 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS/win.ini
644 ctilden:Domain Users ./winscp.RND
777 ctilden:Domain Users ./work
644 ctilden:Domain Users ./zeros.pl
644 ctilden:Domain Users ./_viminfo
