Q: Documents Folder on iPad Air2?
-
Jan 26, 2016 12:41 PMby kb1951,There is no "documents" folder on an iPad. For document files, I use DocsToGo. This recent thread discussed downloading files, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7433637, it may be of some help.

What App are you using on the iPad. Transmit connects to a server somewhere, it does not as far as i know tself receive files from another Transmit app directly.

I uploaded a .docx file (from the Mac) to a folder on my server ... then downloaded that same file from my server to the iPad (the Transmit app on ios showed only a"Documents" folder.

This does not sound good at all.
iOS 9 and later requires at least iTunes 12.3.1 to communicate. (Current versions are iOS 9.2.1 and iTunes 12.3.2.)
However, iTunes 12.3 and later requires at least OS X 10.8.5. (Current is OS X 10.11.3.)
Therefore, I strongly suggest you immediately update your Mac to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan):
Upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support
OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard, was released nearly seven years ago.

According to the Help page on Transmits website, it should have a set of local folders you can browse.
