# QEMU VM migration
## Migrate a VM from VMware ESXi to Proxmox VE
### Copy .vmdk from VMware ESXi to Proxmox VE via SCP
Find the **.vmdk** files corresponding to the VM to migrate.
They should be located in `/vmfs/volumes/` on the VMware ESXi machine.
To establishe outgoing SSH connection you need to allow it in the firewall.
With executing `esxcli network firewall ruleset set --enabled=true --ruleset-id=sshClient` inside the shell from the VMware ESXi machine you can do that.
If you want, you can check SSH connection to your Proxmox VE machine with `ssh root@<PROXMOXVE_IP_ADDRESS>`.
Now you can copy the **.vmdk** files from the VMware ESXi machine with `scp -r <PATH_TO_VMDK_FILES>/* root@<PROXMOXVE_IP_ADDRESS>:<PATH_AT_PROXMOXVE>`.
This can take a *very long* time!
