If you just want to copy the disks, enable SSH access to your hosts and simply scp them. You will have to copy the *.vmx and *.vmdk files from under /vmfs/... These can be converted locally using the virt-v2v -i vmx mode. However even easier than that, virt-v2v -i vmx mode has a subflag -it ssh which will copy and convert from ssh automatically (and more efficiently too because it doesn't need to copy everything). This is all covered in the virt-v2v-input-vmware(1) manual page.
