On the VMware Tools custom install, there is an option for shared folders. I know how this works on workstation. How does it work on ESXi? I can't find any documentation on it.
I have a test lab that is sealed off from the rest of the world with no outside connectivity. The client uses the lab through Virtual Center. They sometimes need to get files in and out of this environment. In the past, I've setup an intermediary VM with 2 NIC and have 2 NICs on each VM in the lab. This is a pain to setup and I was looking for a better way.
