Hi Ignacio,
 
apology for my English...
my name is George Ginis...
 
what you mean running/accessible via firewall and system-config-securitylevel? in XP or CentOS? and what is this?
 
the PuTTY I have in XP or in CentOS?
 
thank for your answer...
 
By default CentOS doesn't have ftp, telnet, nor rlogin services
running/accessible via firewall.
Use an ssh client such as PuTTY.
And don't forget to use system-config-securitylevel to open the ssh
port.
