The entire Australian energy market communicates with XML over FTP. Electricity meter data is CSV in XML over FTP.

Sometimes simple just works.

CSV in XML over FTP?

That would look like

    <DATA>x,y,z</DATA>

doesn't it?

FTP, not SFTP? I'd increase the bill of my neighbours I don't like a bit.
