[Cesto]

yes esxi is free but you still need an license key from vmware then enter that into vsphere and it will activate your server

[Cesto]

Its disabled by default, I wouldn't recommend that you do, but if it is for testing then follow this article;

im logged to ESXI console
im push ALT+f1
not work.

[Cesto]

No, you don't need to push ALT +F1.

with ESXi 3.5 and ESX 3.5 you can now copy files to and from the datastores with the Browse Datastore function in the VI client. On the Sumary or Configuration \ Storage page for the host, right click on the datastore and select Browse Datastore. On the Browse Datastore window you'll see icons to upload / download and move files.
