FastSCP is a freeware FTP over SSH tool for Windows. Its main function is to deliver disk image files to VMware ESX Servers or to make backup copies of existing virtual machines (VMs).
[edit] How it works
FastSCP uses SSH as a control channel and FTP as a bulk data transfer channel. It sends encrypted control commands through SSH, generating one-time username and password for each file to be transferred. It uses the generated credentials to establish FTP connection between the standard ESX FTP client and Veeam FTP server on the Windows machine to actually transfer the file from/to ESX.
[edit] Features
- Speed: File transfers at full network capacity
- Security: One-time password for each file transfer
- Ease of use: Nothing to install on ESX
- Support for ESX 2.5.x and ESX 3.x
