Use the zmodem utilities (sz/rz). For example, to download a file from the
remote, type ``sz filename''. If you are running minicom or any other program
that automatically recognizes the ``zmodem download string'', then the
download should happen immediately. Otherwise you have to give your terminal
program a download command, specifying the correct protocol.
Uploading is the reverse; you give a ``rz'' command to the remote host
and then initiate the transfer by telling your communication program to
upload using the Zmodem protocol.

If Zmodem doesn't work well, try SixPack. I wrote it when I got fed up
with the sz and rz tools.
