Xara's publishing feature uses the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP), nothing proprietary about it Jen. It works with the majority of hosts and server software out there by design. There should be no need to make any 'adjustments' for your server to accept an FTP connection provided you supply the correct and usual details..
The reasons you must use Xara's publishing feature has only relevance to the 'Re-publish changed files' feature only because the way
it remembers what has already been published and what NEEDS to be RE-published because of CHANGES you have made.
How can any other software possibly know this?
As you say, 'Simplicity'
