I've got a Debian installation in an installation of ESXi that won't boot due to the deletion of a few system files that need to be restored. It would be preferable to at least access the files on the instance, if a repair is impossible.

To complicate matters, there isn't enough room on the drive to upload a full distribution to boot from with VMWare disk utility.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
