'Off-esxi' backups?

$

Hi.

 

I have an ESXi 5.5 installation running here at home on an HP Proliant.

 

I take periodic clones of my twelve VMs.   I would like to get them off of the host and onto my Desktop Mac, to be backed up on my 'Time Machine' schedule.  But I have tried scp from the host and FTP into the host.  To no avail.  The firewall is off, I believe:

 

esxcli network firewall set --enabled false

 

I get timeout when I try to FTP into the host, and for some reason, my host can't even see my Mac when I try to scp the backups across (despite the latter being in DNS).

 

Does anyone know of a solution?

 

Ideally, I'd like to run nightly backups, and get them off of the server automatically.  Can this be done?

 

All tips appreciated.
