One such tool is C-Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
in which the command is:
translate <in-file> <from-charset> <to-charset> <out-file>
For example:
translate foo.txt latin2 utf8 foo.utf8
This is just a side benefit of having character-set conversion built into
Kermit's communications. In other words, you could just as easily convert
a file's character set as part of the download or upload operation using
Kermit or FTP protocol. See:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/case14.html
for a tutorial about Kermit's character-set conversion features, and:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/case08.html
about Unicode.
