To All,
How do you enable SCP to the ESX 3.5i installation, noting that the firewall configuration is not able to be changed?

See this page - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_enable_SSH.php. After step 6 you might as well reboot as some people have reported that the services command may not restart the inetd process. You won't need to change the firewall.
Thanks Dave..
Or replace step 6 with two steps to tell the inetd daemon to reread the changed config file:
ps | grep inetd
Which will give a line like the following:
1291 1291 busybox inetd
Where the process id (pid) is the "1291" value so in this example you would then do:
kill -HUP 1291
whereupon ssh access should be granted without the need for a reboot
Or...
kill -s SIGHUP 1291
