Chris is truly trying to help you. There are many, many ways to send an XML file. The following are HTTP methods off of the top of my head: SOAP (possibly with WSDL) Simple HTTP POST (usually through a form) Simple HTTP GET (possibly through a form, though passing XML documents through URL parameters is probably not "A Good Thing".) It really depends on what the *receiving server* expects. Is there a documented API? Or perhaps can you just point us to the page (URL) that is supposed to receive the XML document? -- Teach a man to fish...
