administratior denied access to local policy console/ftp problems

[Guest Help is always greatly appreciated]

Documentation suggests the importance of enabling local log on user rights

for iusr_computername (the anonymous account taken on by any visitor to a

public FTP site) and indeed when I try to enter the site via browser from

another box access is denied even though the welcome message I put in there

appears. But it still says invalid port command 500 and asks me if I have

permission to enter the file after setting NTFS permissions correctly I think

 

I want to check local security policy but it's locked, even when I attempt

access to

that administrative mmc console as an administrator. (Note this ftp server

is just on win2k pro) Suggestions please? Also what's all this about "ftp

server back connects" to the client and needing "port h1, h2, h3, h4,,p1, p2"

for me to resolve a port connection. Note I have no DNS...this is just a

dynamically assigned ip address and it works fine for anonymous access to an

http://ip address site.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
