Hello,
I'm trying to copy a virtual machine from one Esx to another Esx over the network. We don't have shared storage such as a SAN. The problem is I don't know Linux command, so I tried copying guest vm using Winscp. The problem is Winscp does something to the vmdk flat file by appending an extension, and I can't change that extension with Winscp. Am I doing something incorrectly.
Thanks in advance for any help.
how about VMware Converter?

You can do it with Virtual Centre if you have it?
Excellent idea, Troy! Thank you!
Pardon my ignorance, Bruce.
I can move vm from Esx host to host if managed by VC even though I don't have shared storage such as SAN or ISCSI?
Thanks in advance.
you're welcome.
Don't forget to award points!
Points awarded.
Yes you can - you would have to cold migrate the VM when it is powered off - this will allow you to move the vm to the new host and switch datastores -
Wow...I just tried it. It works!
Thanks!!!
Virtualization is a wonderful thing!!!
