Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: gnome-vfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905497 Title: gvfs should auto reconnect when disconnected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs/+bug/905497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
