# Uploading files using DockSend

DockSend automatically uploads files or folders dropped on Transmit's dock icon.

When you drop a file or folder on Transmit's dock icon, Transmit looks for favorites which are DockSend-enabled. If the item dropped on Transmit's dock icon came from the local path associated with a DockSend-enabled favorite, it will connect to that favorite and upload the item.

To enable DockSend for a particular favorite, click the favorites panel button:

Select an existing favorite.

Click the pencil button:

If the "More options" button label is visible, click on the disclosure button to reveal more options.

In the Remote Path box, enter the path to the folder you wish to receive files on the server.

In the Local Path box, enter the path to the folder on your computer from which you will be dragging files to Transmit's dock icon.

Check the Use DockSend box.

Click Save.

Note that DockSend also works with items in sub-folders of the configured local path. During DockSend, Transmit will navigate through sub-folders on the server, creating them if necessary, before uploading the file, so that the structure of the local folder is maintained.

DockSend must be enabled for at least one favorite in order to work.
