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.
