Hi Murry/Anyone else that can reproduce this bug, I have been trying all morning to reproduce your issue with a stock version of gvfs and have so far had no luck (although I may have uncovered some other rare bug corner cases). Can you please provide a little more information.
1. Are you on a Wired or Wireless network? 2. In the time you have connected to the sftp location is it likely that your wireless/ or even wired connection has dropped out and reconnected? 3. If you are reconnected do you always have the same IP address? 4. What exactly are you doing when you get the error message? 5. Do you still see the sftp location mounted in Nautilus after you get the error message? 6. Do you have any other Network issues when the error occurs? i.e is you network connecting working fine for everything else? 7. Is there anything else you can think of that might be helpful with reproducing this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs 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 GVFS: Confirmed Status in “gvfs” 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://......'

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.
