Enable SSH on a VMWare vSphere ESXi 4 without going into the Busybox console

Hi, nice step-by-step video. I have got only one question ... where did you get the inetd.conf file? It is on the ESXi in /etc/, is not it??? How did you get the copy of this file?

Thanks slashujh!

Hi, You just need to do a fresh instalation of ESXi4 on a "Vmware Workstation" and extract the inetd.conf using WinSCP tool, then Edit this file and delete the # character in from #SSH line

Yes! Im going to do that ... thank you!

Well, when I want to know something, I need to know this fast. With explanations this video would take more than 15 minutes. I dont like videos with a lot of (loosing time) explanations. Just need the essential. You can pause the video and take a look on each command that I have on notepad, this is step by step. If you still want an explanation of each command. Just google It.

@slashujh you have any idea how selfish that sounds? thanks to the video maker for documenting this, its very helpful. I'm sure we could all do something better every day, but we can be thankful that some people just get things done.

nice video but a bit more explanation of what you were doing would've been nice..more context than just a list of commands to blindly copy/paste
