I have downloaded BingSiteAuth.xml, opened it in notepad and tried to save it - as I would htm files but it will not work.

Hello

I believe you will have to use an FTP up-loader such as FileZilla to place the xml file directly onto your server. And Don’t open that in Notepad..
FileZilla is a very good software to do such type of tasks. You should use it to upload your XML file.

    If you have FileZilla installed in your system then connect to your site and move this XML file to the required directory of your site.

    You can use FTP uploader to place the xml file directly onto the target server. You can find the ftp login details from your web hosting provider. Keep in mind, it works for self hosted websites. As you mentioned, downloaded xml file, it is necessary to verify by adding a Google Webmaster verification file.
