Can you...

view the VI3 file system from a desktop PC in the same type of way as Windows explorer?

We need to copy some files to the server, and would like to do this from a GUI interface.

many thanks

Yes using WINscp http://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Will do this over SSH and you will need to use a priviledged account.

Hello,

If you are copying files between your worksation and ESX hosts I would look at Veeam's FastSCP. I have found it to be about 4 x faster, on average, than WinSCP.
