'Upload file in KVM guest
Which library is best to use for uploading a file in KVM(Kernel Based Virtual Machine) guest?
Solution 1:[1]
May be libguestfs is what you're looking for, specialy the virt-copy-in and virt-copy-out tools ?
Solution 2:[2]
If it's a linux guest, you could give 9p-virtio a try. It can share a directory between the guest and the host. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio

This solution from David Weber works really well: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio
Basically mkdir /tmp/share && echo '/hostshare /tmp/share 9p trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L 0 2' >> /etc/fstab. On Host ``mkdir /tmp/share`.
Then in Virt-manager, Add Hardware > Filesystem, change Driver to Path, add Source /tmp/share and Target /hostshare. And mount -a.
Or add by command mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L hostshare /tmp/share.
