Is it possible to copy files from a Host os to a Guest OS which is running in the virtualbox ? (Not Folder sharing)

As per my understanding there is an option called Shared Folder. But I am not referring to that. Here my Guest OS is Linux and my Host OS is windows. I am using virtualbox to run the Guest OS. I need to run a simple application(C/C++) in the Linux which is running in the virtualbox.

The function syntax can be something like below

fun_copy(file_from_host_os,dest_path_guest_os)
{
  //Implementation
}

Here:

PS: I added the same question in Unix stack exchange also

Edit: I don't know the feasibility of this requirement. That's why I came here. I think u folks can help me to sort out this problem. Thanks in advance

Did you consider using the network interface?

There are plenty of tools for copying files through a network interface e.g. ftp, tftp, ssh... Linux hosts usually include some of these tools in a standard installation.
