Agreed. The host filing system is a great way to go for running experiments. There's a software example found in the Nios II kit, as well...

will the host based file system help you out?

this is a faclity that allows file access by coding file open/close/read/write instructions in to your nios code that access the file system on the pc via the jtag connection.
