minicom can do it, but you might have better luck with lrzsz. I used to
use this for transferring files across telnet sessions.

Summary     : The lrz and lsz modem communications programs.
Description :
Lrzsz (consisting of lrz and lsz) is a cosmetically modified
zmodem/ymodem/xmodem package built from the public-domain version of the
rzsz package.  Lrzsz was created to provide a working GNU copylefted
Zmodem solution for Linux systems.

You should install lrzsz if you're also installing a Zmodem
communications
program that uses lrzsz.  If you're installing minicom, you need to
install
lrzsz.
