You can certainly capture packets on a public wi-fi network but if you are using SSH and your passwords are not sent in the clear it would take quite a bit to decrypt the thing you will capture.
Can a hacker sniff others’network data over a WiFi?
Provided that the hacker knows the WiFi password if any (WEP or WPA), is he capable of sniffing network data of other hosts connected to the same access point? If an attacker has the password, then they could, for example, use Wireshark to decrypt the frames.
Is it safe to use SSH on WiFi?
Wifi, wired, it doesn’t matter: SSH assumes that all traffic can be monitored by an attacker, and even that the attacker will try to intercept packets and replace them by different ones. The first time you run ssh from a particular client to a particular server, ssh asks you
What happens if I give my wifi password?
