If the domU is shutdown, you can mount its file system and copy files into it.

The reason that everyone suggests networking is that if you tried to mount
a file system twice (once in dom0 and once in the domU) you will cause file
system corruption. So using cluster and/or network file systems is really your
only real option for dealing with a running guest.

If you have a partition that is available to dom0 and domU, and you only
mount it in the one that you want to write in and the other leave it
ummounted or
mounted read-only, that could be a way, but you would have to implement it
carefully and the potential for error is there.

(when i say partition above, it could be a image file created with dd)

It seems like learning the bridging and or basic network sharing is an
easier route.

Is there a reason not to use a internal private network with a bridge
to accomplish
your goal?

Cheers,
Todd
