Enable VNC in ESXi

You can enable VNC to connect to your VMs in ESXi.

  1. Power off your VM
  2. Edit the VMX file.  It is a simple text file.
    Add
    remotedisplay.vnc.port=”5900″
    remotedisplay.vnc.enabled=”true”

If you want to enable VNC access to multiple VMs on a single host, you'll have to use a different VNC port for each. Using your VNC client specify the port after the IP address.

ESXi and SCP

If you have enabled SSH on your ESXi server and want an easy way to copy files to or from your desktop SCP is the way to go.

All you need is a SCP program like WinSCP. WinSCP will allow you to securely connect to your ESXi Server, browse the datastores, add files to the datastore, copy files from the datastore, and delete files on the datastore.
