We have a NT4 domain, and have recently setup WSFTP on a Windows 2000 server in the domain.  The only issue we're really having is that whenever we first open up the WSFTP Server Manager, and try to expand the tree under our host, we have to sit there and wait for a good 45-60 seconds before it finally opens up the rest of the tree.  Any time we want to add users to a group, set permissions on a virtual folder, whatever function needs to read from the user database, the process is horribly slow.  We have approximately 1500 user accounts, which shouldn't be any problem.  We're using Windows NT for the database, and it's pointed via UNC to our primary domain controller (we've since tried changing the name to an IP to see if there was some issue there, but it's still slow).  There's no connectivity problems between the FTP server and the PDC, both are using the correct WINS servers, and they're on the same switch.   Using User Manager for Domains on the FTP server brings up all the users in seconds..

Anyone else have this issue?  Hopefully there's something simple I can check, because as it stands the server manager is pretty frustrating to use as many options take so long to come up. 

Thanks for any help!

I don't really have a solution, just interested.

So you are running WS_FTP Server on a Windows 2000 Server machine, and your user database is located on a totally seperate machine (some Windows Server PDC?). Is that right? I guess I just don't see why you wouldn't copy the user DB to the actual FTP server.
