You have a couple of options...

Either run the supplied conversion programs on the Unix machine and
then download with no conversions (probably binary mode), or some
terminal programs will automatically convert from ascii to petscii.

Be careful if you try the second method, the terminal may not properly
handle some special characters like the curly braces, vertical bars, etc.

Your best bet is converting on the Unix machine.

"make" the two programs: asctocbm and cbmtoasc.

Then, 

asctocbm *.c

will convert all of your ".c" files to ".cbm" files.
Then download the .cbm's, but on the 64/128 change the extension back to ".c".

I use .cbm on the unix machine for petscii files.

good luck,

Mat
