In server the files are archived in above manner in a particular folder.The coulms corresponds to name,size,type,date,attributes of the files archived.I want to know what the column Attributes means?Why that "A" notation is there. Please tell me.

Depends what OS you're using. As you haven't said, I'm going to guess you're using Windows.
In Windows the filesystem automatically handles the A attribute, it means the file has been updated. It can be used by simple backup programs; they would typically look for files with A set, backup the file and clear the A flag so that next time round the file isn't picked up unless it has actually changed.
