Thanks! Interesting problem... but the short answer is no, as you expected.
For that, you'd need some additional code. You could certainly extend the Core with a module to allow for it, but it would take some custom work.
Just out of curiosity, do they want the XML files to be submitted via FTP after every submission, or just every once in a while (e.g. when the administrator requests it)? If the latter, presumably you'd want an "Export via FTP" button/page?

Hi, Ben. Thank you for your response.
Believe it or not, my client now finds out that he is to send XML forms of visitors submitting information to a third party but needs to have each submission go through as its own record (XML file). The files need to go up to an FTP site, through login procedures. The third party is not a technical type person and has no idea how other clients of his does the same thing, nor does he have a dedicated technical person to answer my questions.
So, to my client's benefit, I set him up with Form Tools so that he could have his own database of form submissions, as well.
Unfortunately, this means that my client is going to have to download the XML file off the server with multiple records and copy/paste each submission, in the proper format, into separate files and submit each separately. Really not a big deal when done a couple of times but I'm thinking that's not something he should need to do.
Since I'm not a php guru, I have been spending way too much time doing R&D to try to come up with a solution. Internet searches have resulted in very limited successes.
Anyway, thank you for your help and for your incredible application. I'm a big fan of it.
BTW: why am I not seeing a PayPal contribution button on your site somewhere? Weren't you going to take contributions at some point? Am I missing it in plain sight?
