From a shell prompt, start withman stat. Note that most filesystems do not store a file's create date.

Getting the creation date will be a tough one on a Linux system as it isn't stored.
Related question:
How to find creation date of file?
Use the ls command to list files, try the options -a and -s to list all, and list their sizes. Use the command man ls on the command line to read a full description on the ls command
