ISO Upload not possible

[SirHaschke]

Hi,
i use vSphere 6.7 and i try to upload an ISO file to the datastore.
I get the error like in the attachment.

Any idea why? I test it with different Browsers.

Hi,

Are you facing this issue with Flash client or HTML5 client or both ?

Try uploading the ISO by directly connecting the ESXi through web browser.

Try uploading a different ISO and see if you still face the same issue.

I think that's the normal untrusted certificate error. That link (http://vmwlin01...) should be a link to one of your hosts. If not maybe copy and paste it into a new browser tab. You should get a certificate warning. Accept it, then go back to your other tab, try your upload again and it should work.

Do this:

To upload an ISO to a datastore the most convenient option is IMHO
1. use putty and connect to ESXi

2. cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore/some-dir/

3. wget http://sanbarrow.com/livecds/moa64-nogui/MOA64-nogui-incl-src-111014-efi.iso
This makes sense if you otherwise use your admin-host to download the iso from the ISO-provider first. Safes one step !
Works very well to download new Linux-isos ....
If you already have the iso on your admin host just use WinSCP

Oh, yeah!
I did it like this (in terminal): scp -r image.iso root@IP-my-VCenter:/vmfs/volumes/ID-DataStore/  and it works!

Thank you!
