failed to login to nfc server

Hello,

If I use the vSphere Client to connect to my vCenter Server 4.1 and browse a datastore, I receive the the following error when trying to upload any files: 'failed to login to nfc server'

However, if I use the vSphere Client to connect to one of my ESXi 4.1 hosts, I can successfully upload the file.

I've seen many posts about restarting the vCenter service and checking for pot 902 on the firewall.

To troubleshoot, I disabled the Windows firewall on the server that vCenter is installed on, this did not fix the problem. I also restarted the vCenter service and this did not fix the problem.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

What you describe sounds like there might be an issue with the vCenter agent running on the host... If you're were running vCenter 2.5 I would say that this article would nail it: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1007336

The solution in the KB might do the trick anyway.. who knows.
