Is there a way to upload and download files over serial without AMPY?

Hi
I design and build sensor PCB board that works over wifi
I need to test those boards before deploying them on a a wifi network and sometime tune the software for a specific board on the electronic bench and without WIFI access. I only have access to esp8266 over serial port at that time
I cannot upload/download over webrepl.
I use AMPY to load the initial software after flashing the rom and it works fine for that.
But if I want to change a thing say in main.py AMPY dont work most of the time ( it just hangs forever).
This problem is well documented as a quick google search shows.
So my question:
is there another tool I can use to put and get file on esp8266 over serial beyond AMPY?
A search over the internet did not bring anything obvious but I might be missing something.
Thanks
