What way would be the fastest to copy files to an esxi host? &nbsp;Using WINSCP, or using the vsphere client datastore browser. &nbsp;I have about 165GB to copy. &nbsp;I used WINSCP to copy from the host and it took about 4:25.

Fastest way to copy files to ESXi host

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
