FTP Upload XML Sitemaps using A1 Sitemap Generator
XML sitemaps FTP upload tool
Having created your XML sitemap, you will need to upload the sitemap files to your website. You can either use a standard FTP upload program, or the built-in sitemaps FTP upload tool in A1 Sitemap Generator. After configuration, upload of all generated sitemap files including Google XML sitemap protocol files becomes a 1-click operation.
Configure XML sitemaps upload
If you have never configured FTP options before, it is recommend you carefully check the general instructions at your webhost provider.
When you configure FTP upload directory path, you need to take into account that most webhosts have files accessible from the outside (i.e. those viewable through a webbrowser) placed in a subdirectory, usually called htdocs, public, html or similar. (If unsure, try find the directory where your index file for the given domain is located. Another solution is to ask your webhost administrator.)
Note: If you are FTP uploading an XML sitemap for an addon domain, your upload directory path will often be similar to e.g. /html/example.com/ or /public/example.com/.
Concerning host, remember that you should not include www in front of your domain name.

I have tried expand on the information a little. If that still does not help, you may need to ask your webhost administrator what the FTP domain website directory is.
