Hi

A bit of background:
Until 3 weeks ago, I was using Karmic, and I would ssh/sftp map the webroot of 
a server I have, for quick editing. This connection would remain stable until I 
unmounted it or shut down the PC. In addition to this, I was able to perform 
basic permissions work on files/folders on the server. The Nautilus properties 
applet would show names & groups on the server.

After the switch to Lucid (btw I performed a full dist-upgrade shortly
after posting the bug- did not resolve problem). I can still use the
"Connect to server" menu to mount the webroot folder, and I can access
files, but if I go to the properties applet, the users and groups are
displayed as numbers, not names, so I cannot easily change permissions
either. After about 10-15 minutes, if i go to open the mounted
connection, I will not see any files or folders. I then need to unmount,
and re-connect to the server.

I have book-marked the connection, and it will connect immediately, but
still suffer the same time-out problem.

TO REPRODUCE
I can repeat this problem with Places>Connect to Server>Service Type SSH...use 
my credentials and complete the mount - it will invariably drop the connection. 
I have yet to test if this will occur if I keep active in this connection, ie 
copying files, editing a page, etc. but I do know it will time-out if I have a 
document or page open, but not working on it; I get a save error and have to 
reconnect again.

I can connect with ssh at the command line and I have kept it open
overnight, with no loss of connection.

Please let me know if you need more info.

regards
Ken
