Re: Error when saving to multiple files

I actually had to do 'chmod 777 <dir>' but it works great now. Thanks!

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

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?
