Hi,

I'm rather new to IPTables.  I've written a shell script to update and save the IPTables on a web server that only has HTTPD, SSL, Secured FTP, and SSH available.

I need to be able to access the server via SSH and SFTP and want to only allow the data center's local net and only those, by IP, that I allow to access the box over the Internet.  Port 80 and 443 should be open to everyone.

I'm hoping someone or a couple of people can look at what I have written and give me some feedback.  I've already locked myself out of one server so I would like to avoid that again.

Thanks in advance for your help!
