Hi I have client-server application. In server, the pcap, files will be available and in client I will list all the pcap files. User can select a pcap file and open it in wireshark. Now the problem is I can send whole wireshark application to client to view the pcap.I would like to know : 1. Can wireshark be invoked on IE or Mozzila. 2. Is there any API, so that I can call it from server. Please help. Thanks, Kumar asked 24 Jun '11, 02:58  KumarABCD |

You could prepare a Wireshark portable version your users can call from any shared directory if you want your users to use the GUI client without having to install it everywhere. Otherwise you might want to take a look at cloudshark at http://www.cloudshark.org/, maybe their appliance is something that works for you. It is designed to allow concurrent access to centrally stored pcap files by web browser. answered 24 Jun '11, 03:02  Jasper ♦♦ edited 24 Jun '11, 03:03 |

Thanks Jasper. Where I can get more information for Option 1.
Download the portable version at http://www.wireshark.org/download.html, download the "Portable App" version and install it into any shared directory your users can access. After installation it can be called from any workstation that has access to the directory.
Thanks Jasper. Will this portable version can be invoked from a solaris workstation. or is there any seperate solaris portable version that can be accessed by Windows client/workstation. My Client may be a windows/unix workstation. So will be OS compatible?
The "Portable App" stuff is Windows-only.
