I wonder if this upstream bug (with patches) is relevant: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500538
I was sure I had seen some other upstream (GNOME) bug about this, but I can't find it now. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #500538 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500538 ** Summary changed: - my sftp conncection breaks spontaneously after a while, I have to re-login to fix it. + Nautilus sftp connection breaks spontaneously after a while, needing re-login to fix it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377322 Title: Nautilus sftp connection breaks spontaneously after a while, needing re-login to fix it Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I have used an sftp connection for a while - started from Places/Connect to Server or from a bookmark - it breaks, typically after an hour or so. The only way to get an sftp connection to that server again is to re login to my computer. The error message I get is Could not open location 'sftp://......' DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken Sometimes when this happens, my computer freezes for about 60 seconds. I have Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits - error happened on Hardy also - on a computer with an AMD64 processor.
