How to add to datastore on ESXi host only?

in Virtualization
I've always used VCenter and could "Browse Datastore" I'm setting up a stand alone ESXi 6.0 host for some temporary VM's and need to add .ISO's to the datastores. The "Browse Datastore" option is not available. What's the easiest way to get a .iso over to the datastore which is local storage?

Thanks

    You should still be able to browse datastore via the fat client. I can here on this vsphere 6 box

    Select the ESXi host > Configuration Tab > Storage > (right click the datastore) > Browse Datastore

    Well, I guess I'm retarded. I swear I did what iBrokeIT suggested and did not see the browse option. Much thanks!
