Visual Studio 2008 FTP is painfully slow

Tags: Visual Studio 2008 ftp
I have a few large sites that I need to access via ftp to work on occasionally.  I am trying to use the FTP tool included in VS2008 but it is painfully slow.  The site contains more than 5000 files in more than 200 folders.  I have used Dispatch in the past for smaller sites, but I find for these large sites it isn't useful especially because there are a few people working on the site.

Anyway, is there some reason VS2008 chokes on large FTP sites and is there any way to fix it?  I have experienced it using Vista, XP and Server 2003.

Also, it takes FOREVER for the IDE to close once it finally does open the FTP site.

Thanks!

Paul
