The creator of QEMU-Puppy seems to have some ideas solving this:
http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html#6.1.0

His first solution uses a modified FTP server from within the guest, but the
modification seems a bit hackish.

His second solution uses tar and netcat, but that seems rather inelegant.

His third solution uses SMB under a Linux host, but doesn't work under
Windows, ironically.

I'm also wondering why the user mode network stack won't work.
