I used the following approach:
	- compressed the disk to a .SDK with ShrinkIt
	- send it to my Unix box via Kermit-65
	- received it on the Unix box with C-Kermit
	- unshrinked it on the Unix box with "nulib"
	- eventually changed the sector order from PO to DO
	  (depends on disk operating system)

This only works for COPYAble disks, not for copy protected disks.

Hope that helps!
