How to upload file to newer version HyperFlex controller VM?

[SIMMN]

With Hyperflex v4.5/5.0, ssh into the controller VM is in a restricted shell...How could I upload file to the controller VM, such as vCenter plugin file? Do I have to call TAC for this?

Winscp still works just fine, using the admin credentials, and copying to the /tmp/ folder.

The admin guide covers the required steps: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/hyperconverged_systems/HyperFlex_HX_DataPlatformSoftware/AdminGuide/5-0/b-hxdp-admin-guide-5-0/m-html-plug-in-for-vmware-vcenter.html#Cisco_Task.dita_4b00c229-6eb0-4f08-ae03-fdee71fe79a4

I actually just figured it out after the post...I had to use SFTP in winscp, instead of SCP...
