The "Sitemap Generator" provided by Google is a console script written
in Python and is intended to be executed on the console to generate the
sitemap.
Unfortunately, this is not supported with our service because:
- Python is not installed on our serves
- Unlike a UNIX host, it is not possible for customers to execute shell commands on our servers
- The Sitemap file is just a simple text file that follows several formats (OAI-PMH v2.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3)
According to Google, it is possible to write your own program to generate the needed sitemap file. See
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html.
Alternatively, there are a number of freely available services/tools to generate a Sitemap file. For example:
