How upload file from datastore to a vm

[S1m0n3b]

Hi everybody.

I need to upload files into a vm created on a vmware esxi server.

I uploaded my file on the datastore of the server.

How can i put them into the VM?

Thanks

Download the file from datastore on the PC you are accessing vSphere from. and upload from PC to the server you want.

sorry i did not explain well,

I need to upload those files from the datastore to the Virtual Machine created on the server.

the Virtual machine has been created on the a server vsphere, and i uploaded those file in the datastore of that server.

Now i need to put them into the Virtual Machine.

Hope that i could explain myself better.

thanks

You can't upload file from datastore to inside the VM. Datastore has VMFS whereas guest operating systems has their own file system. Instead of uploading file to datstore, access that VM's filesystem and upload directly there. Datastore won't come in this picture.

ok thanks

so how could i upload the file directly on the Virtual machine without using internet access?

thanks

What is guest operating system in that VM ? If you have network connectivity between your PC and that VM you can access Windows file system with \\ip address\c$ or you can upload to a linux system via Putty/WinScp or fileZilla.

the os is windows 10

and the Virtual Machine is on a network server

One option - if you cannot access the VM directly - is to create an ISO image with the files that you need in the VM. Then upload it to a datastore, and attach the ISO to the VM as a virtual CD-ROM drive.

+1. I would do it the same way probably.
