Hello, I'm trying to capture traffic on a port that's pushing about 600Mbps and figured the command line with a duration and file limit would be easiest. When I use tshark -i 1 -a files:10 -b duration:2 -w test I get tshark: The file to which the capture would be saved ("test") could not be opened: No such file or directory. Any suggestions? I'm pretty new to this so any help is appreciated. Thanks, X asked 04 Nov '15, 14:41  Xero |
One Answer:
Which directory are you running the command from? You must have write permission to that directory if you're to save files to it. If you don't, you could specify a fully-qualified path for the output filename to a directory that you do have write access to, and I'd also recommend appending a answered 04 Nov '15, 14:59  cmaynard ♦♦ |
I'd expect to get "Permission denied" rather than "No such file or directory" -
open({path}, O_CREAT|..., {mode})shouldn't fail with ENOENT unless some directory leading up to the final component was missing, and, in this case, the path passed toopen()should just be "test".Something odd is going on here. (Perhaps all that's going on is "this is Windows", but there might be more to it.)
