vSphere Remote CLI for ESXi 4.0

Does ESXi 4.0 have a remote CLI utility? I am trying to configure iSCSI multipathing and according to the documentation, I have to run some commands via the CLI. Unfortunately, the datacenter where my ESXi host is not within walking distance. I downloaded the Remote CLI for ESXi 3.5, but it does not recognize the commands that I need to run.

The commands that need to be ran are:

esxcli swiscsi nic add -n <port_name> -d <vmhba>

esxcli swiscsi nic list -d <vmhba>

esxcli swiscsi nic remove -n <port_name> -d <vmhba>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
