qm importdisk from remote host

[Kmgish]

I have successfully used the qm importdisk command locally, but wonder if <source> can be a file on a remote host via ssh.

not directly, you would have to mount the remote folder via sshfs or similar

Hi, just to report about procedure.
After mounting remote storage throught sshfs need ot be passed to qm importdisk the the descriptor of the disk, not the flat itself

As an example, importing from a VMWare host:

mounting remote:

importing disk to a machine:
qm importdisk <VMID> /mnt/node/<machinename>/<machinediskdescriptor>.vmdk local-zfs
