# Choosing what to do when a file exists

If a file or folder you are transferring already exists at the destination, Transmit presents several options in a sheet.

- Stop will cancel the currently transferring item and any remaining items.
- Skip will cancel the currently transferring item, but will attempt to transfer any other remaining items.
- Replace will replace the item in the destination folder with the item from the source folder. In the case of a folder, the entire folder will be replaced, including all of its contents.
- Resume will append data to the existing destination file, starting from the equivalent offset in the source file. This allows you to complete a previously interrupted transfer. Not all servers offer resume functionality. Resume applies only to files, not folders.
- Merge will add items to the destination folder, without removing any existing items from the destination folder. Files within the destination folder that have the same name as files coming from the source folder will be overwritten. Merge applies only to folders, not files.

You can change the default behavior in Transmit's preferences.

Choose Transmit > Preferences.

Click on the Transfers button.
