Copy VMs from one ESXi host to another using SSH & scp

[iksigrikov]

scp -p -r /vmfs/volumes/datastorename/vmtocopy root@192.168.1.239:/vmfs/volumes/datastore2name/vmtocopy
-r means recursive
-p preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.

Enable SSH on the host you are copy VM from.
Enable SSH Client in destination host's firewall.
