VMWare file copy between esx hosts

1. start SSH Client in source and destination ESX host:
service sshd start
2. enable firewall for ssh client and server in both hosts:
enable ssh client:
esxcfg-firewall -e sshClient
enable ssh server:
esxcfg-firewall -e sshServer
3 On destination ESX host go to dir where file is to be copied to:
cd /path_to_where_file_should_end_up/
4 from above dir run copy command using scp:
scp root@ipAddressofSourceEsxHost:/path/filename.txt ./

eg to copy proxy.xml from esx01 to esx02 from /etc/vmware/hostd to /etc/vmware/hostd
log on to esx02 as root
cd /etc/vmware/hostd
scp root@esx01:/etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml ./

and to push a file out to another esx host:
scp local_file_name root@remote_host_ip:/path_where_file_should_go/
