uploading Win10Pro ISO to the DataStore issue

Hi all, I have downloaded the latest version of Windows 10 Pro and am struggling trying to upload it to the datastore. At first it was a certificate issue which is now resolved but I’m reading that the size of the new Windows 10 Pro file is over 5GB in size. I don’t know if that is an issue or not but I am still stuck.

To resolve the certificate issue, I followed the following doc and that fixed that issue

In my research, I see that WinSCP will do the trick once connected to the DataStore. So now, I have WinSCP downloaded and installed but I don’t have a clue what settings I need to access the DataStore

What browser you tried to use in this case?

Is there a specific error message?

Most browsers - except for IE - will allow you to upload files >4GB.

If you want to use WinSCP, you need to start the SSH service on a host, and connect to it using root credentials. Datastores can be found under "/vmfs/volumes/".
