ZModem is not FTP.  Not even close.
Jeff is right about 'rz' and 'sz'.  However, how are connecting?
I presume you'll need to use Minicom to dial into the BBS?
It's been years since I used ZModem for anything.  I don't
really remember how it worked, but I do remember it was clumsy.
Best of luck there.

Why are you using a BBS anyway?  Aren't the files available
via FTP?  I think there is probably a much simpler way for
you to get these files than from AOL's BBS.
