It might be required to do scp of a VM folder from one datastore of one ESXi host to another datastore of another ESXi host. This helps in migrating VM (after powering off) from one vCenter / cluster to another vCenter / cluster without requiring ovf export / import middle steps. However, by default outgoing SSH / SCP from ESXi hosts is not allowed due to default firewall rules. Before doing SSH/SCP from one ESXi host to another we need to allow SSH client in firewall rules of that ESXi host using:
- Login into vCenter and go to host from which SSH would be performed
- Go to Configure -> System -> Firewall
- Click "Edit" for incoming tab itself. Enable "SSH client"
- After this also if SSH is not working then do the same on destination host also.
