Dear friend,
I need to use "tshark" because it's integrated in a C program that takes it's output data and process it.
The purpose of using tshark is to collect ftp and ftp-data packets in a ftp transfer (myServer->myPC).
But, when I filter (read filter sintax) using : "tshark -p -R ftp", tshark doesn't collect any data or when it collects something, this data is incompleted or random, but it doesn't happen with wireshark (gui).
Tshark should collect all FTP data: REQUEST, Entering passive mode, Opening bynary mode, all FTP-DATA (chopped file) and finally Tranfer Complete. Wireshark does it
Example:
--I transfer a file from myServer to myPC. Wireshark is sniffing on myPC.
1. Wireshark (gui) is sniffing at the same time. Then I filter packets to show only "ftp or ftp-data". Everything OK
2. Tshark is sniffing at the same time. Command: tshark -i eth0 -p -R "ftp or ftp-data". Sometimes it collect 1 packet, sometimes 4 packets, but always first packets, never "FTP Response: Transfer complete" that is the last one in a correct transfer or ftp-data that contents file-data.
I also updated my Fedora 6 kernel (2.6.20-1.2962), but I don't know if it affects, all my modules work properly.
So, I will be pleased if someone could help me, is it problem of the kernel or maybe the update modified wireshark? I changed wireshark version, reinstall new one and everything goes on. I'm a bit desesperated.
Thank you all. Best regards
