Try filtering on "ftp or ftp-data".

where can i find this filter?

I guess you mean where to enter it? Try the filter input field below the toolbar buttons.

If you want a full list of filters try the expression builder.

Thanks Jasper for your great support I found it and i choose this filter, but thier is no data appeared when i chose either FTP data nor FTP

Note: I make a local FTP server and client @ address 127.0.0.1 using fileZilla server and client @ the same PC

I make a local FTP server and client @ address 127.0.0.1

@ambitious: that does not work, as Wireshark on Windows (actually the WinPcap library) cannot capture localhost traffic.

Please use RawCap instead.

BTW: For further questions: Please add as much detail as possible. We could have told you the problem with 127.0.0.1 in the first place, if you had mentioned it.
