You omitted the dot at the end of the command. 

The fact that there is a file
called /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/one-interface/shorewall.conf~
(ie, with a tilde at the end) suggests that you have previously edited
files in that directory.

> cd /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/one-interface

That will copy the files to a directory called 'etc' under the current
directory. You need to copy them to /etc/shorewall, not etc/shorewall.
However, if you fix the first mistake above, that of omitting the dot at
the end of the command, you won't have to do this copy at all.

I know what you mean, but filenames under Linux are case sensitive,
so /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf is not the same file
as /ETC/SHOREWALL/SHOREWALL.CONF.

At the start of your mail, you say:

> It did not work.

> Please help me

When you visit your doctor, do you ask him to make you better? Or do you
tell him what is wrong?

You need to describe, in addition to what you did, what happens and how
that differs from what you expected to have happen. Just saying "it does
not work, please help me" is unlikely to achieve the result you wish.
