Comment 0 for bug 1630905

This affects an installation of Ubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo laptop.
When applications like nautilus or Bluefish are connected to a remote fileshare using sftp (ssh) via a lan connection, if the connection is lost and re-established the old process seems to hang blocking attempts to save data or use Nautilus in any way.

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.
