How to copy files from VM to host machine ?

What are you using to virtualize the virtual machine?

I think f.e. Virtualbox have a drag'n'drop feature that can be installed. I also belive some virtual machines HDD can be directly accessed with no fuss.

If that seems complicated another option is to simply transfer the files using the emultated network(I think most basic emulators use NAT between the host and the virtual machine) so you could just use a filetransfering program. I prefered(when using windows) to have bitwiseSSH to communicate with my linux machines(assuming it is that way) then you could just set up and SSH to allow transfer and you should be able to access all files that user is allowed to access.
