   drwxr-xr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 2011-02-16 15:09 main
   -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data  335 2011-02-16 15:09 main.css
   -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data  343 2011-02-16 15:09 main.js
   -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data    0 2011-02-16 15:09 print.css
   
   $> zeta /tmp/static
   ...
   $> ls -la /tmp/static
