Disk Copy 6.x disk images store vital information in the data fork, which is stripped on most non-Macintosh computers. This can be avoided by using Disk Copy 4.2 image format which only stores tag and checksum data as a resource forks, but are otherwise raw binary files (there's even a utility to convert Disk Copy 4.2 images into raw image files.) However, the tag data can be useful.
I often use Basilisk II on my MacBook as an intermediary (System 7 + Newer Stuffit.) That way I can download a file and extract it with no issues. I then use Stuffit or DiskDoubler to compress the file as a self-extracting archive, then binhex encode the file. After that I shoot it over to my vintage Mac over FTP. I run NetPresenz, a free FTP, Gopher, & Web server on my vintage Mac, then just use a regular FTP client on my MacBoo to connect.
