Kermit

A common terminal emulation program and file transfer protocol that can be used across dialup and telnet connections. It is much slower than xmodem, ymodem, and zmodem in most implementations, but it has the advantage of being able to transfer 8-bit files across a 7-bit telnet connection, which the others will not do. It was developed at Columbia U and is widely used in academia, probably because it is free. It was named for the frog.
