Transfer files to vSphere Client using ISO

I have found myself looking for ways or a more convenient ways to transfer files to my VMs using a vSphere  Client. With VMware Workstation it is much easier, you can just drag and drop the files directly to your VM with an ease(That is unless you connect to a server to access your VM). In this tutorial I will teach you how to transfer your files to your VM using your VMware client.

If you don't know how to create ISO please refer to my other tutorial
> How to create an ISO in CentOS
> Free ISO creator for Windows


Go to your vSphere client and to your VM window,
Then click the CD Icon then go to CD/DVD drive 1 > Connect to ISO image on local disk...












Choose your ISO image from your directory:





For CentOS5.8, it will not automatically be mounted. Instead, you have to go to Computer  then double click the CD-RW/DVD-RAM Drive to mount the image.
