The dumpcap man page[1] mentions the syntax for remote capturing, but the tshark man page[2] does not.  It probably should.

 

The same goes for "dumpcap -h" output:

 

Usage: dumpcap [options] ...

 

Capture interface:

  -i <interface>           name or idx of interface (def: first non-loopback),

                           or for remote capturing, use one of these formats:

                               rpcap://<host>/<interface>

                               TCP@<host>:<port>

 

vs. "tshark -h":

 

Usage: tshark [options] ...

 

Capture interface:

  -i <interface>           name or idx of interface (def: first non-loopback)

Hi Richard

Are you talking about rpcap? If I'm not mistaken you can use rpcap://IP as interface name.

Hi,

I have built wireshark to use remote interfaces (with the correct
build of libpcap) and cannot find any way in tshark to specify remote
interfaces.

Have I just missed them or is there truly no way to specify remote
interfaces in tshark?
