Hopefully someone can help me with this, because it's driving me nuts.
I'm trying to connect to several different remote sites using FTP (both active and passive modes). These sites have tens of thousands of files. After I connect, the mouse continues to stay a spinning wheel icon (as though its still working) even though the bottom right status bar is showing "Ready". Even though the cursor is a spinning icon, I can slowly navigate the website directories through solution explorer, but it's so slow that it's really unusable. Also, if I hit escape, I get the option "do you want to abort this operation". I can abort hundreds of times and it continues, probably all it does is abort the ftp operation of that particular file and moves on to the next.
My questions:
- Is VS trying to download and cache the whole site? If so, how do I prevent it from doing that? It's making it impossible for me to modify remote large sites.
- Why is the status bar saying ready while it's actually still doing work?
- Is there a log or window that shows all the background FTP activity that happening? It's frustrating to see signs that the VS is busy but not have any idea of what it's actually doing.
