I am a big fan of CompactPro.

Lightweight, runs under System 4.1 or greater (requires a 512Ke or above), has a built-in BinHex encoder/decoder, and just...works.

Use Mini vMac or another emulator like Basilisk II to take the files, compress them, encode them via BinHex if you're using FTP, and push them over the wires.

Not all Disk Copy 6.1.2+ images are compressed. Some are, and only DC 6.1.2+ can open them. You need a 68020 or higher to convert or create a Read-Only Compressed disk images. Make coffee in the meantime -- I tried converted a DC 6.3.3 Read/Write image to Read-Only Compressed and it took about seven minutes.
