An internal virtual FTP server which serves a directory of the host might be slower, but it would not need any changes on the host side. (Think about portable OS in qemu on USB/Flash-Media, which could easily export e.g. C:\Xchange or ~/xchange into a virtual FTP/WebDAV, which can be used for fileexchange from allmost any guest.) That way you can build a very portable sandbox, which can be run from various host systems.
