Loading data via ftp

Question

Hi,
From my reading of XML Db papers, it seems to indicate to me, that it is possible to load XML datafiles via ftp.
Please could someone give me an example of how this would be done, as I cannot find a concrete
example in the documentation.
Thanks for your attention.
Pete

Hello
This is a simple text file.....
It is stored in the Resource View, If it were a schema based XML file, and the
Schema had been registered with XML DB, then the Resource View would contain a
reference to a row stored in the default table identified by the XML Schema.
Does this help...
