Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] wireshark/tshark not seeing ftp transfers

if you really are using unsecured FTP, and you are capturing the traffic and it is being just decoded as TCP, then you should be able to just use "Edit:Find Packet" and search for the packet containing your username (or password ;-) )

to ports 21 and 20, and to the particular hosts but nothing shows up.Any
suggestions?

No epiphany here, but just a few basic things you might want to check:
1) Are you sure it's unsecure, or could it be sftp?
2) Are you capturing on the right interface?
3) Do you see the ftp traffic if you capture all packets without any filters in
place?
4) Is the FTP dissector enabled? (Analyze -> Enabled protocols)
