When I use Minicom to capture data from a serial port, I need to save the big data into a file, named minicom.cap. However, if I press Ctrl+A and L to capture file, it failed. No file was created (minicom.cap did not exist beforehand). My download directory was properly created. My OS is Mint, and I read data from Arduino nano v3.0

Did you try to start minicom as

minicom -C capturefile

Unless i got something wrong, it should start to capture incoming data immediately.
