Xara will only produce a sitemap if you add the site's URL into the box at the bottom of the Publish options.
Web Properties > Publish > Other Web Host (FTP) I'm not sure how it works with either Xara or Magix hosting.

That's a bummer! I export my site to disk and upload from there using FileZilla.
Not sure how to do it otherwise!
Of course you get a version from navigation properties too.
You can Google 'create sitemap' and quickly make your own to upload via FZ to the same directory as your site (presuming public_html).
Xara produces a robot.txt, a sitemap.xml and an index.xhl. If you want details of what these file do you will need to wait for someone else to pick up the thread, I only know in a general sense, similar to me knowing what my wife's on about when she says 'Remember that time in 1993 when you said.....'
Not a bummer if Filezillaing.
Go to Web Properties > Publish > Other web host > Settings (Chris's picture) and add in the destination Website URL.
Click OK twice.
Export and in the folder you will have sitemap.xml & robots.txt.
The site maps will appear as:
xyz.com is the destination URL I inputted for this one-page test; yours will be more complex.Quote:
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"><url>
<loc>http://xyz.com/index.htm</loc>
<lastmod>2020-01-13T11:44Z</lastmod>
</url>
</urlset>
robots.txt just points to the location of the sitemap: Sitemap: http://xyz.com/sitemap.xml.
Armed with this you could generate your own sitemap, as Chris suggests, and publish over the Xara one.
Save this file safely elsewhere too and remember to republish and even update if there are changes.
Now you know what can be done, you could just remove the Website URL and publish your sitemap separately; nothing then gets overwritten.

You can enter the same FTP info that you use for Filezilla and publish and update your site from Xara. There is no need for the extra steps or Filezilla.
Press Help in the Other Web Host Settings menu (or in any menu with a Help button) to see a list of context sensitive options that pertain to that process.
Slightly tangential, I have index.xhl in the dir of the sites I looked at (all uploaded through Xara), er, what's an index.xhl?
Not positive but I think the index.xhl file addresses what has been changed since the last publish so that the entire site does not get published from scratch every time.
Positive or not I'm happy to accept that. I've fleetingly considered opening one to see on several occasions, but never mustered enough curiosity.Quote:

A list of the files that were uploaded last. I feel strangely deflated. no magic, no entrance to Narnia. Just a list of files.
Well I have now got the site (still in development) uploaded to GoDaddy, where it will live, directly from Web Designer.
Now to find the SiteMap!
Fire up FileZilla, drill in to your published files, and thar she blows!

Trying to work on adding a robots txt file that a SEO company has sent over to us. I went in and added the txt to the robots.txt file in our hosting root folder. Is there anyway around to make sure it does not get over written besides ticking Fast publish. I tried it both ways. If I had fast publish unticked, it disappeared.
Any suggestions?
