Enabling FTP & SSH on ESXi Server

  • At the VMware ESXi host, press ALT+F1 to access the console.
  • Enter the word 'unsupported' in the console
  • Then type the password for root login
  • To enable SSH and/or FTP, edit /etc/inetd.conf and remove the comments from the lines having #SSH and #FTP (on both IPv4 & IPv6)
  • Save the file & restart the inetd process, by issuing the command /sbin/services.sh restart
  • Now you can access the host via SSH and/or FTP
