You may want to try following a blog series that I wrote a while back. It's a three part blog series on building an interface from MDM to ECC using XI. The links are below:

/people/harrison.holland5/blog/2006/11/27/mdm-syndication

/people/harrison.holland5/blog/2006/12/20/xi-configuration-for-mdm-integration--sample-scenario

/people/harrison.holland5/blog/2007/01/22/testing-and-monitoring-an-interface-between-mdm-xi

What he is referring to regarding FTP is that the MDM syndicator will generate a XML file. XI has to pick that file up to process it, in order to do so you can either configure a FTP connection from the XI server to the MDM server, or you can do a mount of the directory that MDM is pushing XML files to and then you can use the File adapter in XI instead of the FTP adapter.
