If it doesn't have any kind of "send text file" operation, you could probably copy and paste the contents. You could look into Tera Term as well. It doesn't look like it has a "send a Text File" operation, but you could copy and paste and Tera Term has the ability to put variable pauses in after each line break so you don't overload the receiving end.
You can try TeraTerm which is free.
