Wireshark caps taken in Linux are unavailable in windows

0

Hi,

I have captures taken in a Linux (ubunto) virtual machine. I transferred them using ftp to a windows 7 virtual machine and I'm getting the following message: "The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt. (pcap: File has 3186583733-byte packet, bigger then maximum of 65535)" I tried saving the captures in other formats but getting the same resault. How can I open captures taken in linux on windows?

Thanks, Vered.

Transfer them using binary mode instead of ASCII mode.
