Fiddler trace for troubleshooting

Question

Fiddler trace for troubleshooting

Hi,

what would you recommend using for recording repro steps?

I was told to use Terminal.app at admin level with command

sudo tcpdump -s 0 -A -i en0 –w ~/Desktop/trace.dmp to start recording
repro steps
CTRL+C to stop recording

Is this the only way? At a user level is not very practical if they don't have admin permissions for the machine...

Thanks,

There seems to be an tcpdump: illegal token: – in your command line

Thanks...

What I meant is if there is a user friendlier step recorder (an app?) to run for remote troubleshooting purposes as opposed to have the user log in with admin permission and run a command in the Terminal that - as you prove - can be easily done wrong...

Sorry if I explained myself in a convoluted way...
