To the others: does this for you just happen with FTP connections, or
does it happen with SFTP connections too?

I can use my NAS via SFTP for hours, but my FTP connection will break
after idling for just some minutes ...

Title:
  FTP timeout problems

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi, I have a problem that has annoyed me for several years now.
  Nautilus has big problems with FTP connections.

  Although it was changed in version 11.10 of Ubuntu it still do not
  work as expected.

  What happens?
  If I try to access a FTP folder from the bookmarks when the FTP connection is dead I get a box saying the host has closed the connection. I click OK, and try to press the bookmark again, several times, and nothing happens. So I try to unmount the FTP folder by clicking on the "eject" icon in the bookmarks and then nautilus closes since it was a ftp folder that was open. Then I can open nautilus again and connect.

  I also have problems editing files from an FTP folder using gedit, but
  they are not so serious, and is improved from 11.04. If the FTP
  connection is dead, you will get a warning, this must be removed
  before you can press Ctrl + S again to save the file.

  What I expect to happen?
  When I try to open or save something in an FTP folder when the connection is dead, I want it to reconnect automatically.

  
  Since I'm using at least 40 hours a week to edit files in an FTP or SFTP folder, this is a big problem for me. I really, really appreciate if someone can fix it. :)
