Apart from using usb sticks (AFAIK VMware still has issues with usb 2.0
though) I think the experts usually call a samba or ftp server on the
linux side the cleanest solution. The ultimate thing in terms of user
friendliness would be if the numpy virtual appliance already had that
pre-configured!

And now let the experts step forward to announce better and easier
solutions...
