I just installed the Dolphin file manager and everything works fine, so it looks like Nautilus really is causing the problems.

Nautilus takes minutes to connect to sFTP servers and once connected, it randomly freezes (window turns dark and doesn't respond for 30-60 seconds). This happens often, but not only, after a time of inactivity. Other software using sFTP, like text editors with sFTP support, are also affected.

It's both a problem with smbd and Nautilus however, because Nautilus should handle the disconnects better and not freeze all the time. Connecting via SSH through CLI is instant and doesn't cause any problems whatsoever, so again, it's not a network problem. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on several machines and they all have the same problems. If the problems persist, I will have to look for an alternative, as it's impossible to work like this.
