Linux Terminal Firewall Controls

iptables can be a fiddle, instead use the command "ufw", it's a terminal/console front end command to iptables.

ufw disable : Switches off firewall and from boot startup also.

Example of commands allows FTP protocol from anywhere.

# ufw allow 21/tcp

# ufw allow 20/tcp
Rule added

# ufw status

Firewall loaded
