Login to your google merchant center
Your General section should be filled out (General in the left nav)
Select the settings link in the left nav bar
Select FTP
Create an FTP username
Create an FTP password
Select the Data Feeds link
Create new data feed
Create a Data Feed file name ( I use the generic filename that Tony has listed in the xml data feed which is: google_merchant.xml)
one of the great features of the xml data feed is you are able to schedule a "fetch" You can do that right from the data feeds area.
When you create the fetch you can have google fetch it right then, If you have google fetch it your fetch url will be yourdomain.com/google_merchant.xml (obviously the your domain. com is your actual domain.) IF you named your file google_merchant.xml in the data feeds area.
If you want to view your file it has the same url as above your domain plus /your filename
Do make sure you have everything setup in the add on itself under addons>settings and do make sure you've setup the xml data feed in the Content>Setup xml data feeds link.
Hope I didn't miss any steps!

I didn't see the earlier posts related to the XML Data Feeds addon I supply and support. You can simply send an email to supportXX@ez-msXX.com (remove X's) and I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
The XML files are stored in the location you specify in the addon settings. If there is no path component (default) then the files are created in the root of your store. The default for Google XML is google_merchant.xml. But you can easily put this in your var/exim directory by simply specifying the filename as var/exim/google_merchant.xml (or whatever name you want). Again, this is set in the addon settings from Administration/Addons.
We suggest that you have Google retrieve the file at a particular schedule rather than FTPing to Google. But either way works fine.
