If you're using a comminications program, such as Telix or Windows 
Terminal to connect to a Linux system, then look into the programs 'rx 
/ sx', 'ry /sy', and 'rz/sz', for xmodem, ymodem, and zmodem file 
transfers, respectively.  Check the man pages for more info.

One caveat, I have found that I often have to use the sz option "-o" in 
order to make the transfers work properly.  This option turns off the 
defaulting to 32-bit CRC and uses a 16-bit CRC, which seems to be more 
compatible.

Hope this helps,
Anthony Albert
