Hey Everyone,

What are your favorite ways to get large files efficiently onto an esx host? I have been playing with fastscp but it doesn't work for me reliably. I am wondering if there is any other tool out there that is easier and fast?

Let me know!

Matthew

Kaizen!

WinSCP or you can always use the upload option when you browse the datastore within the GUI.

I have the best, easiest, cheapest, most reliable, and efficient way to do it bar none: http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier

That's all you need, putty, file transfer, and everything in one place.

Veeam is finicky plus its hard to work behind a firewall... WinSCP seems to be better, plus this company has something better than veeam: http://www.trilead.com/
