Ok, thanks Murray. This is the first PPA I have created so I wasn't sure how to give the package a different name so that it would be the preferred version of gvfs. Any tips are welcome. You should still have my version installed as there hasn't been an official release in a while. You can check with the command 'apt-cache policy gvfs' you should have 1.16.1-0ubuntu19
Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to reproduce the issue myself. I'll might start by trying the steps in this bug as it seems related: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325979 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #325979 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325979 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377322 Title: Nautilus sftp connection breaks spontaneously after a while, needing re-login to fix it Status in GVFS: Confirmed Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I have used an sftp connection for a while - started from Places/Connect to Server or from a bookmark - it breaks, typically after an hour or so. The only way to get an sftp connection to that server again is to re login to my computer. The error message I get is Could not open location 'sftp://......'

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken Sometimes when this happens, my computer freezes for about 60 seconds.
