WinSCP makes it so incredibly easy and obvious I simply don't believe that you are unable to do it. – John Gardeniers Apr 27 '12 at 02:50

It's as simple as running SSHD on the Linux VM and using WinSCP to connect to it over an IP network. Nothing special. Just make sure you have a properly functioning virtual network.
A better option to transfer files to a guest would be to use VirtualBox Shared Folders.

@JohnGardeniers I've been here three years and it's only been in the last six months or so that I consistently check the tags. Even then, it's only because I know people leave out vital information until they're forced to tag the post before submitting it. =) Anyway... let the comment deletion begin... – Wesley Apr 27 '12 at 03:39
