basic question

hi,

I have a basic question,,

i am in a directory called
/intas/OCU_3.9.1/sbin

ocuut1@france>mv itsa_tcs itsa_tcs_old
mv: itsa_tcs_old: rename: Permission denied

i am logging as the owner of the file.

when i am doing this i am getting the above error of permission denied.
I know there is some permission prblem but how can i check that,then i use the chmod command and give the permission to the directory.
