Okay, I was still getting the same error doing this all by hand. Heres what I came up with.
First you have to create a catalog and set it up for FTP uploading. Have to give the Exact file name being used n all.

Have to make sure that the .xml file is registered and set up with Live before uploading via Admin or FTP.

Also. I stopped having my FTP access via Admin denied when I put "ftp.productupload.live.com" up as the LSP Server.
Think its the same as what is default for the mod but somehow replacing it made the problems and bold red letters go away. . . .

. . . Now those same angry screens are using words like " Successful " !


Thanks for the help,
John
