What do the the different text colours in the ssh shell mean? Using "ls", one of my webapps is displayed with red text and a black background. What does this mean? I see that light blue text represents directories for instance. I'm using the terminal app in Mac Lion. Thanks

Thanks neeravk, The red on black turns out to mean my symbolic link was broken because of spaces in the url. Fixed, an now my link is a pleasing cyan. Cheers.
