Yes, Kermit:

It's a telnet and rlogin client with built-in file-transfer and scripting
capabilities:

If the server already has Kermit installed, you can transfer text and binary
files with Kermit protocol. If it doesn't, you can "push" text files with
Kermit's TRANSMIT command, which should be reliable enough over a Telnet
connection, and you can "pull" them using Kermit's session log.
Or if the server has rz/sz installed, and you also have them on your local
computer, then Kermit can use them as "external protocols" and you can
transfer files that way.
OR... You can install Kermit on the server yourself. If you can log in
to the server and "cat > foo", then you can upload a small uuencoded
Kermit protocol program, uudecode it, and off you go. For details see:
