Is not it against the EULA to use UNSUPPORTED CONSOLE and make SSH connections to ESXi host?
What about using scripts like ghettoVCB.sh http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 ?
Command vmkfstools?
Or programs like fastscp or winscp?
Please follow the EULA available at vmware.com http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/esx_esxi_eula.html

Thanks Jintoa,
I have read the EULA, but english is not my first language and even if it was I would not be sure either. Sometimes, it is difficult to read between lines.
If you know the correct answer to my question, please write a simple reply.
Maybe, as this adds functionality that may be considered 'restricted' from the free product. See the Virtualization Practice post for more information.
Command vmkfstools?
No
Or programs like fastscp or winscp?
Maybe, if they are being used for 'Read-Only' then no, but for 'Read-Write' then yes as this violates the technical restrictions of the free ESXi.
I am not an attorney but the writing of the EULA could be considered vague at best....
