Generally in that case you want to do something like make a nfs share
one of the hosts can see and let the tools move the files for you.
The cli has some downsides to it that you don't really ever want to do
file operations in and out using it if you can help it.

Be careful doing direct backups of a recently shut down guest in ESX.
The clone / backup etc tools are there for a reason and the cli is not
designed to be safe for direct file access like that.

You could just connect with the vSphere Client, browse the datastore and
download the whole directory to your local machine, then do whatever you've
got to do. It's point and click and not cool-guy-command-line
