    Your don't have guest additions installed? :) If not your system is sandboxed and the only exit is USB, online storage or dvd/cd writer. Install Vbox Guest additions and you can copy files outside of vbox

A couple of ideas:

  • network shared folder link
  • connect usb and add it to the vm link
  • copy with scp
  • ftp server link
  • run web server from the folder containing .iso file python -m SimpleHTTPServer

All except for flash drive options can be used on both host and client.
