Seriously... 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?
