Hanan, You can find out if it's running with the command (as root):
service bastille-firewall status If it is and you want to try stopping it: service bastille-firewall stop (and of course .....start to restart it) I suspect that this is not the problem however. How are your IP addresses and subnet masks set up? Oh, and there are much better ways than FTP - Samba would be the way to go.
