Can do this using a standard FTP client (if it is integrated in the feed generation software). Feeds are generally in the domain root directory like this: http://www.mydomain.com/nameoffeed.xml, but as long as you know, where it is it doesn't really matter.3) Display the feed on your site by using a graphic of some sort to the, to signal that an RSS feed with content that is available in connection with the site include a colorful graphic on the Web site visitors.
