When you're ready to build an Virtual Machine in your ESX host, the process is made MUCH quicker by having the ISO install image stored on the ESX host.
There are other methods, like using the actual CD and putting into the CD drive, but this can be a bit more time consuming. Having the ISO already mounted to your virtual machine streamlines the process.

No longer necessary to learn WinSCP or SSH. Browse a VMFS datastore, and then Upload The ISO file to the directory you want it to go to.
Nuance: When browsing a Datastore, you navigate on the left, and upload/download will be in the the location that is selected on the left.
