Welcome to TalkGraphics. Xara & WordPress are not compatible. WordPress is a content management system which builds the website on the server using a database to form the content prior to delivering it to your browser. Xara creates predefined webpages based on html.

+1 on above, simply not compatible. You could, of course, prototype in xara and then get a developer to create the site in wordpress or if you are so inclined you can learn to develop with wordpress, not easy but certainly worthwhile if you're doing it for a living.
Learning Wordpress is not as scary as you may think. I recently put together my very first site on WordPress I followed a Udemy course Wordpress for Beginners and I found a page builder for wordpress called Beaver Builder that was a tremendous help. I used elements from a Xara built site such as images, and photos that I exported as png or jpegs, some text was copied and pasted and one page from the xara site was just linked to from the wordpress site. The linked to page was done because it has some elements that I have not yet learned to replicate in wordpress, and for the time being this works just fine.
Developing in Wordpress is a very different skill set in my experience. But that doesn't mean that Xara doesn't have its place. I decided to go the wordpress route for this site because a) I wanted to learn wordpress and b) I wanted to do a blog type site that could be easily added to that we could easily log in to on a browser and have an admin panel. I do not have any intentions of replacing xara but rather I have added another tool to my toolbox

In 2010 I converted about 6 websites from Xara to WordPress. It was interesting and the blog features were useful. Then WordPress began with their security updates. I used a skinning product as well. That company began to falter. Updates seemed endless with more than one of them breaking the sites. Forum checking confirmed it was the WordPress/plugin companies as the source of breakage. Then, sadly, one of my clients died. He was a writer and there was 4 years of blogs and comments. No easy way to harvest that data.
Subsequently, I have moved all sites back to Xara and cobbled together a blogging feature. I found WP too demanding and unreliable. Too many other companies with control over the content and look. That was my experience.
Dan,
When you say you cobbled together a blogging feature, I would assume that the blogging update is done just once in a while? Otherwise it would seem to be a lot of work for normal updates. Can you elaborate some more on what you have done?

I'm quite interested in this 'ftp problem'. Was it incidental to the Post request?
Why have you not come back?
When did you buy XDPX?
When did you realised it had nothing to do with WordPress?
Sorry, this is all negative to a new joiner (welcome) but understanding where you've come from saves so much time and wasted effort.
