This also enables SFTP - you can use your FTP client that supports file transfer over SSH to move stuff to the filesystem of the ESX server.

David,
I’m sure it goes without saying that allowing root logins via SSH is not considered a security best practice, but this is helpful information for users not familiar with SSH configuration. Over the long term, I imagine you would agree that users should create non-privileged accounts to use with SSH, then use su or sudo once they have logged into the console.

Hi SLowe,
I completely agree - the proper way is to login as yourself then su to root. Great point!
Thanks for the comment,
David
ESX 3i is rocking it on the skinny — Server Virtualization Blog |
[...] This, of course, is excepted when VMWare documentation gives Linux commands to perform tasks, David Davis’ recent blog on enabling SSH and SFTP on ESX is a good example. By removing that layer, the ESX product is more aligned to what it needs to do [...]

Hi David,
I am giving training on ESX and I have found RootAccess from Veeam.com to be a compromise (sort of speak). It is an easy, free and light Windows tool and it can toggle PermitRootLogin if necessary but mostly it eases the creation of users. My students now have no excuse to maintain good audit pratices.
Embed SSH connections to ESX with console plug-in - Virtualization Pro: A SearchVMware.com blog |
[...] Installing the console plug-in is straight forward from the ConsoleClientSetup-0.1.5.msi and it is easily added from the plug-ins menu in the VIC. Once added, each ESX host in your inventory will have a new tab called Console that performs in a similar fashion that the Console tab does for virtual machines. The difference is that authentication to the ESX host is passed through the plug-in. This requires that SSH be enabled on the ESX host, and should you wish to use the root login there is a slight configuration to enable root SSH access which is explained here on the ITKE by David Davis.

With billow computing, workloads are assigned to connections, software and services, which pass4sure are accessed over a arrangement of servers and admission in assorted locations, collectively accepted as “the cloud.” Using a attenuate applicant or added admission point, like an iPhone or pass4sure test laptop, users can admission the billow for assets on demand.
Greene told the accident attendees that the change of virtualization begins with users deploying VMs for real pass4sure testing and development, again abatement into server consolidations for assembly environments. The third appearance is ability aggregation, with absolute abstracts centers getting pass4sure virtualized, followed by automation of all of those aggregated workloads. The final “liberation” appearance is billow computing, Greene said.
