The basic issue is that root does not have write access to the directory you are using. So either change the directory permissions or set dumpcap to suid. 1 - chmod 666 <dir> or 2 - sudo chmod +s dumpcap Best of luck Alex Lindberg --- On Tue, 12/8/09, Nicole Powell <mznikkip () hotmail com> wrote: From: Nicole Powell <mznikkip () hotmail com> Subject: [Wireshark-users] Error when saving to multiple files To: wireshark-users () wireshark org Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 12:43 PM I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with Wireshark 1.2.2 running as sudo. I want to capture multiple files, 50KB in size and save them in one directory. However when I check 'use multiple files' and 'next file every 50KB; and name the file in the filename box I get the following error: ""The file to which the capture would be saved ("/home/test.pcap") could not be opened: No such file or directory."" Any ideas why this is happening? -----Inline Attachment Follows----- ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
