That's the whole point ... XWD knows nothing about files, folders, names etc. It generates a whole web site from the graphics every time you publish. Publishing (and only publishing) generates the HTML. So if you tweak the site, the graphics may have completely different names when it's published. If you delete the first graphic, every graphic on the site may be renamed when you publish. That's the very reason that the ftp publisher in XWD is set up to republish the whole site not small pieces of it.
I know people think that the time is important, why???? A 1/2hr upload is automatic, doesn't take any work and is painless. Why fight it. Upload the whole site. Surely it's not that time sensitive ....
