Hi,

the best way is to use scp or an USB and copy it to /var/lib/vz/images/<VM Number>/image.vmdk

then use
qemu-img convert -f vmdk image.vmdk -O qcow2 kvm.qcow2

better use the default naming for virtual disk names. e.g. the first disk of VM 100 should be named to:

vm-100-disk-1.vmdk

you can convert this to other formats like qcow2 or raw just via GUI ("Move Disk")
