Uploading the capture file

Last Updated : Apr 10, 2018 |

Procedure

Once the packet sniffing service is stopped, upload the capture file to a server for viewing and analysis.
Note:

The capture file may contain sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords of non-encrypted protocols. It is therefore advisable to upload the capture file over a secure channel – via VPN or using SCP (Secure Copy).

In most cases, you can upload the capture file to a remote server. However, in cases where the capture file is very large, or you encounter a WAN problem, you can upload the capture file to an S8300 Server and view it using Tethereal, which is a command-line version of Ethereal.
