1. Site created and published locally. The file “sitemap.xml” is created.
2. FTP the site to the server.
3. Search for file, “[coolwebsite.com/sitemap.xml](http://coolwebsite.com/sitemap.xml)” yields a message that file cannot be found.
4. This does not seem to be a RW issue, but…wonder if it has happened to anyone else. The file still shows on the server.

Now since you didn’t give an actual link (don’t think [coolwebsite.com](http://coolwebsite.com) is the one you are talking about), it’s difficult to say for sure.  
You should NOT get a not found. But should get something like:

```auto
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

```

Are you typing the full URL? The sample you gave above try adding `http` or `https` to the URL.  
`http://coolwebsite.com/sitemap.xml`  
or  
`https://coolwebsite.com/sitemap.xml`
