By default the root account is not allowed to log into the OS remotely using ssh. You should create a basic Unix account and use that to log into the server, then use su to get yourself root permissions.

Try using Veeam fastscp, use this to log in and elevate priveleges to root, make sure that the ESX firewall is confioured to allow SSH (should be default)
is a drag and drop program that works great and is free.
