Problem

Explain how ls -l works and what you can learn from it, and describe how you would use curl to troubleshoot a MongoDB-related connectivity issue.

Discuss the permission, ownership, link, timestamp, and file-type information shown by ls -l. For the connectivity portion, distinguish DNS, TCP, TLS, HTTP, and MongoDB wire-protocol failures, and explain the security risks of diagnostic commands.
