Hi Rene,

Your HowTo is quite nice and might be enough for most users, but it
depends on modifying the host-system, which needs admin/root privileges.
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.

With regards,
Jan
