After ESX 3.5 U2, all version of ESX supports remote Cli. The vifs tools in remote Cli is useful when you need to get log files from a remote host.
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\bin>vifs.pl -D /host --server bs-bcs-h132.bsl.vmware.com --username root
Now once you know what is there, you might want to get some of those files. let's say i want to get hostd.log from this server, and put the file under my c:/ directory, I can use:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\bin>vifs.pl -g /host/hostd.log c:/ --server bs-bcs-h132.bsl.vmware.com --username root
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\bin>vifs.pl -D /host --server bs-bcs-h132.bsl.vmware.com --username root
