Hello Alex, On a Linux host, the easiest way is using scp. Your host should have an ssh server running on it. If you are connected to the network (and have set up NAT or host interface networking for the guest), you can just do scp from the guest to the host, using the address of the host's network card as seen by the host (usually 192.168.something.something if you are using a router). If the host has a network interface but is not connected to a network, you can assign an address to the interface (e.g. "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1" on the host) and scp files to and from that address.
