I just tried file-sharing setup between a virtual Win7 machine 
running in Virtual Box and my Fedora 14 host. It's relatively 
trivial to set up a share on your host machine. First, shut down 
the virtual machine, the XP vm in your case. Then, in the 
VirtualBox Manager window, for your machine, find the item that 
says "Shared Folders" - clicking on that will give you a wizard 
that will allow you to set up a shared folder on your Fedora 
machine that will be seen by your XP virtual machine the next time 
you run it. When you open up XP the next time, you should be able 
to open a Windows Explorer window and see the share in the list 
(in my Win7 Explorer window, the share appeared at the bottom of 
the tree that started with 'Computer')

So, that's one direction. If you want to be able to move files 
from your Fedora host to your Virtual XP machine, that's a 
different story - VNC could be a simple way to do this in addition 
to the other suggestions you've gotten
