How to put a file into a VM without a malware breach? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

If you're this unsure about running potential malware in a VM, the best method is to just not run it at all.

You should be perfectly fine running with networking on your host, as long as you disable it in the VM configuration before running the potential malware.
