MacOS --> A/UX

I'm having a problem that I hope someone can help me with.

I have a compressed and tarred file on a MacOS floppy.  I want to get it
over to A/UX to uncompress and untar it.  But, whenever I copy the file
to an A/UX volume using the A/UX Finder, it seems to be corrupted along
the way.  I am assuming that it is happening in the transition between
MacOS and A/UX because even if I download the file directly from a Unix
host using a MacOS terminal program and put the file on a A/UX disk, the
same happens.  Text files appear to work OK, but I only tested it with
much shorter text files.

Do I have to do something special to get the binary copy to work?  Am I
doing something wrong?  Am I omitting something important?  I was looking
forward to this for a while.  It sure is faster to use a file server to
copy the files to a floppy and then copy them to A/UX.  Any suggestions?
