I.e., the ability to save the TCP payload as a stream to a file?

We don't currently have that, but it's been asked for in the past:

	It would be nice to have a "save" button in
	"Follow tcp stream".
	If you can print, or decode from EBCDIC, why not save ?

	I agree, it would be a good beginning for something like "save the file that
	the poor sap just FTP'd or SMB transferred", although that would take a bit
	more coding...

although what you'd need for what you want is the ability, I suspect, to
save *one side* of a conversation to a file.
