Hi ..

I want to check the date for one file which is present on the remote machine.

How do i do that??

Also if i'm only having the sudo rights .. can i do that with my login or do i need all the access rights??

Please let me know asap.

Are you an admin on these systems? The r-commands might be disabled on your systems because they have inherent security loopholes.
If you are an admin, then look into installing ssh and configuring that between the systems where you want to check file dates. If you aren't an admin, check with your admins how you could connect to another system without a passwd.
