[iBook] Disk image: what to do with it?

I fear this is a stupid question with an obvious answer, but I can't find
it. I wanted to download free or cheap ftp software for very occasional use
and found a couple of recommendations in previous postings to this list for
Cyberduck, which is free.

So I downloaded it. So now I have a disk image in my downloads folder with
the application and a few supporting (faq, website link, etc.) files--in
other words, not an installer. I tried copying (by drag and drop) the files
on the disk image to a new Cyberduck folder I created in the Applications
folder. Then, when I tried to open Cyberduck from that folder, it hung up
and I had to force quit. So my husband suggested I try opening the
application from within the disk image. It does, indeed, open from there,
but surely I'm not supposed to keep the disk image? What to do?

Thanks in advance for any illumination,
Joy 

p.s. I'm on a 600Mhz dual-USB G3 iBook with OS 10.2.8, if that matters.
