Esxi download large vmdk crash browser

 · We are aware of an issue exporting large VMs with the host client and have the issue fixed in both the client and the host agent daemon. The fix will be included in the next Update release of vSphere. I appreciate this is a critical issue for Host Client, in the mean time, the ovftool utility can be used to export a VM from your ESXi host.  · vSphere web client shows topfind247.co file and not flat vmdk. When I try to topfind247.co it downloads topfind247.co file which is 1KB.

Now for the heck of it I created a snapshot: vim-cmd vmsvc/topfind247.co test testing 0 0. VMDK flat file size when downloading. I have ESXi virtual machine that need to download to my desktop. In the datastore the VMDK file size is 22 GB and the provisioned size is 1 GB. When I try to download it with the datastore browser or Win SCP it tries to take 1,5 TB of space.
