How can you get a file into a VM without creating a potential malware breach? I was told to kill the internet connection, disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, and no sharing disks, but how would I be able to get the files into the VM if it is secure from both sides? The file in question is about 36GB and there is a second file that is 678MB.

Thank you.

    I can’t imagine how long it would take to do that with a 32GB file, or how many errors it they would have by the end.

      You could actually do it! If you founded a small dynasty of humans willing to type relentlessly for many hundreds of years, in succession.

        Manually typing the base64 encoded 32GB file? Open up a terminal and type echo “example text” | base64, then imagine inputing the result of piping 32GB to it instead of 13 characters.
