    Posted May 15, 2019 03:29 PM

    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.

    Regards
    Dennis

    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.

    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!
