Hi Steve,
Web Designer defaults to Auto Detect for FTP connection. This does not always obtain a good connection with some web hosts. Their FTP setup is not configured to provide the necessary response for Auto Detect to work.
If you are confident in editing the Windows Registry you can change the FTP default to Active by editing the following Registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\WebDesignerPremium \7.1\Options\Publish\FTPConnectionType and make the DWORD value 1.
If you are not using Web Designer Premium 7.1 change those to the name of your version and the version number that is within your Registry.
If you are not sure about editing the Registry you can click on the XaReg link in my signature that will take you to a thread on TG where you can download the last update to my program for making Xara Registry changes.
The attached image shows XaReg's FTP tab as it is running on my Vista machine. I have multiple versions of Xara applications installed.
