Unable to access NSX via WinSCP to obtain VXLan file..

[TryllZ]

Hi,

I'm unable to access NSX using WinSCP, with the SFTP protocol I receive the following error.

Found the following settings (Solution 1) to use but I get authentication error even though username/password are correct.

How to allow Shell and SCP access in vCenter 6 Appliance | VIRTUALIZATION BLOG

I'm using the default access admin/default (username/password).

I'm trying to access the NSX to get the right VXLan file for ESXi VIB manual installation.

Thanks.

... and you can't connect with SFTP winscp to the Esxi host ??

Hi AlessandroRomeo68​,

Thanks for the reply.

The link provided I have gone through, the link shows to access the NSX IP address through WinSCP and then get the appropriate VXLan file.

My issue is I can't access the NSX via WinSCP in the 1st place.

Thank You.

Why are you trying to manually install the VIBs in the first place? If using NSX-V, that's not how you're supposed to go about the process.

Thanks daphnissov​,

Could you guide me to the right process.

I'm following this tutorial VMware NSX Installation Part 1 – NSX Overview & Installation Prerequistes and am stuck on Step 7 VMware NSX Installation Part 7 - Verify NSX VIBs Installation from ESXi hosts.​ And came to know of manual installation so I was following this https://www.definetomorrow.co.uk/blog/2018/5/10/manual-install-of-nsx-vibs-to-esxi-hosts and VMware NSX - How to Manually Install NSX VIBS on ESXi Host

Thanks..

Why are you following a five year old guide for a version of NSX-v that you (probably) aren't using??? Please read the official docs as a starting point.
