[sugar] path + emulator

[Reinier Heeres]

Hi,

As for the moving of files: I transfer them to a server via ssh, and 
then get them from the server in the emulator again. Of course ftp (and 
wget to pull into the emulator) would work as well. I think it might 
also be possible to map a port on your machine into QEmu so that you can 
use the ssh server in the emulator, but I never tried that.
