Vm export

Hello , i have 2 esxi 6.5 without vsphere . I want to export 1 vm from esxi1's datastore to my pc and then upload it to esxi2's datastore  . My vm has thick disk of 300GB but only 60GB are occupied. When i try to export this vm to my pc it stops because i think it tries to download all 300GB of (240GB of empty space) to my pc but my disk has only 100GB left free. How can i download the vm with only the occupied space (60GB) and if there is a better way to do it.
