This typically occurs when the connection is either lost accidentally or when the laptop is suspended and then unsuspended causing a loss of wireless connection. The workaround is to kill the gvsftp process manually and then recreate the remote connection using Nautilus. This bug leads to data loss if, for instance, the laptop is closed (starting suspend mode) while in the middle of a task that must be saved.
