By "Apple," do you mean Apple II?  If so, I would recommend ProTerm for the
Apple side of the connection.  I use it on a null modem connection with my
AT&T 7300.  It provides many different file transfer potocols, including
kermit and several different kinds of xmodem.  ProTerm is a windowed
communication program designed to be similar to the MS-DOS ProComm.  It's
available on many Apple II bulletin boards. 

ProComm for the IBM PC is available on most MS-DOS bulletin boards.  It has 
a Host Mode, which I imagine would allow for file transfers, and a variety
of file transfer protocol.  Datastorm Technologies, the manufacturer, asks for 
payment, but only after you've had a chance to try out the program.

ProTerm has a Host Mode, too. I have succesfully transferred files between 
ProComm in terminal mode and ProTerm in Host Mode.  I haven't tried it with
ProComm in Host Mode, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

I would recommened trying out these two programs, especially since there's
no initial $$$ investment.
