Thats not what I really want.  That just lists the size and time of the "capture files", not files captured.  I want to recreate the times and sizes of files that were transmitted and captured...for example, of the 10,000 packets in a capture file, 300 make up file X, another 1000 make up file Y, and so on.. I want to be able to go through the capture file and create a list that looks like

file X  540k  2:30:12.23
file Y  894k  2:34:12.23

Hi,

I'm a new user to Ethereal and am trying to get some quick network data for my research.  I am trying to get onto a wireless network and record sizes and times of transmitted packets, as well as sizes and times of transmitted files (to get some network statistics).  For packets, its easy enough to have Ethereal export the packet headers from a session and then write a perl script to create a list of the length and timestamp of each packet it captured.  It looks quite a bit trickier to back out file (by that I mean a series of packets that are strung together by seq and ack numbers) information from a packet log.  Does anyone know of an Ethereal function or outside software tool that can do this? Otherwise, anyone have any tips on how to do this quickly?  To clarify, I would want in the end a list like so for a logged session:

Filesize        Time
18735      2006-03-16 00:23:49
10233      2006-03-16 00:73:49
....

I'm not sure if I got you right, but you may try to load a file of a file set and use: File/File Set/List Files

But that will only work on files of a file set created with "Multiple Files" capture option.
