Setting up samba is one way to do it--just using samba client and
mounting the Windows share is another. On the other hand, if you're
unfamiliar with it, there are various ways it can go wrong.
I don't use any of the typical desktops, that is, Gnome, Unity, KDE, and
such, but don't they have file browsers that will see the Windows
shares?
Also, there should be the option in VirtualBox, once you install
VirtualBox tools, to set up sharing in some way or another, though I've
not done it that way--ah--if it's a virtual machine, use bridged, rather
than host networking, and download and install WinSCP on the Windows
box--I don't think you have to install it, I *think* there's a binary
that can just sit on your desktop. That makes it easy, you can then
just scp it, with the WinSCP program, to your Linux machine.
