The general advice here is the following:
1 Press alt+V to enter into the "View" menu and activate "Details"
listview type by pressing ENTER on it. This gives you an easy up/down
navigation but in addition it also provides extra file information in columns
to the right of the file name.
2 Having made the adjustment above you can use the keystroke
JAWSKey+Up Arrow which will not only read the highlighted filename but also
other details.
3 For Windows 7 users there is an additional benefit to making the
adjustment descried in step one above and that is that if you just press the
right arrow you can work through the succeeding columns of the details view as
if it was a data grid, just remember to go back to the left where the filename
is if you do not want to hear all the information for a file every time you
navigate up or down the list.
4 Finally, press ALT+ENTER on a highlighted item and you can then
press JAWSKey+B to read the dialogue box that contains the file properties
information.
All of the above works practically for any JAWS version (excluding the Windows
7 bit of course which is JAWS 11 upwards).
Hope this helps.

what I' am pointing at here is:
how JAWS could articulate this information without the need for
keystroke pressing or selecting the details section.
