I'm trying to ftpput my virtual machines dirs to our NAS. Which doesn't support NFS. Only FTP and samba.

So I'm in the ESXi console and enter the followin command

ftpput ipaddress /vmfs/volumes/4a1157e1-be81171a-1b39-001d09080124/VMNAME /Backup

/Backup is a public share on the nas, I can access it through any ftp client. After I enter I get the following

ftpput: can't open 'Backup': No such file or directory

I'm kind of in the dark here. Any suggestions?

It seems basic, but there's confusion about the patching strategy needed to manually update standalone VMWare ESXi hosts. The VMWare vSphere blog attempts to explain this, but it's still not clear. From the blog: Say Patch01 includes updates for the following VIBs: "esxi-base", "driver10" and "driver… >>> More

We have a FreeBSD 64bit running on a esxi 4.1, the hardware platform is a DELL R710 with 2 x 56xx (intel 6core cpu) and 48 GB ram.
