Moving files between Mac and Solaris

It may be that I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm wondering if there is any possible way of getting files into a Solaris 10 VM. I know there are no Parallels Tools for Solaris, but just to be able to mount a disk on the Mac, copy something to it, then mount it on Solaris instead would be sufficient. At present, I can't even mount a disk within the Solaris VM to install the compiler.
 
I usually just use scp.
Create a username other than root on your solaris box, then go to your mac terminal and type:
scp whateverfile youruser@solarisip:/tmp
It'll ask for a password, and then it'll copy the files. You can use wildcards, or tar stuff up beforehand.
You can do it the other way around too.
scp youruser@solarisip:/directory/files .
This copies those files to your current directory(the one inside your terminal.
Easy enough.
