(Presumably you mean "Wireshark *can't* read the file".)
How did you collect the packets? If you didn't use "-w" with TShark (or dumpcap or tcpdump), i.e., if the file is a text file with dissected packets, Wireshark can't read that as a capture file.
If you collected it with "-w", how did you bring the file over? If the program you used has an "ASCII vs. binary" option for file transfer, you need to select binary mode.
