I'm not sure if my problem is a setup issue, a beta issue, or the fact that I have 2008 running in a VM. I have set up an FTP server virtual site and do not allow annonymous connections. When I access FTP from a workstation, it takes a long time for the username and password dialog to appear (about 30 seconds). Once I log in, the server seems to respond very well andI can navigate the site quickly. It just appears that something is causing the sign-on process to take a long time. Is there anything I can try to speed this up? Thanks, Mike

Hi , thirty seconds is a pretty long time, sounds like you are hitting some timeout values in your authentication modules or in you DNS lookup. I would troubleshoot this by first only use basic authentication on your site - this should go fast and then add other auth methods and maybe add a network trace on your client to see what i is doing. Have you checked out the FTP stuff on www.iis.net? Navigate to Using FTP in IIS7 on the left side of this page: http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=7 Brjann
