Bug Description
When a connection is made to a remote server through, for example ftp, in many cases the host disconnects when there is no activity during a timeout. This is not a particular problem is Nautilus, because then a reconnect will take place.
However, when a file is opened on the remote server (for example a text file opened by gedit) and when a disconnect has taken place, saving the file results in an error. gvfs should detect this situation and automatically reconnect.
Woraround for this situation: navigate with Nautilus to the remote connection, press F5 for refresh and the connection is re-established.
To post a comment you must log in.
Sometimes even the refresh-action does not re-activate the connection. Then you have to actively do a dis-connect en re-connect.
