I am in need of the ability to copy files/folders from an ESX 3.0.1 datastore.
Unfortunately, this version does not allow this via the VI client, and as such I have been looking to do this using SSH/SCP.
Firstly, I do not know how to enable root SSH/SCP login. I have created a user who can log in remotely, but when I follow the steps to edit the sshd_config file, it is blank.
This means the root user cannot connect to the host remotely using WinSCP. I have tried to copy the folder using WinSCP as my SSH enabled user, but it does not have permissions to the files in the folder.
Can someone advise how I am to copy the folder I need from this host?
