I connect to the FreeBSD machine via SSH, and use secure file transfer to upload/download from the machine.
In the last week, the FreeBSD machine has dropped my connection on 3 seperate occasions. I'll queue up some work and leave the machine unattended, only to return at a later time and find that the connection has been closed.
Is sshd configured with the "KeepAlive" option set?
Does netstat -i or -s report any errors? Maybe you have a flaky cable?
Do you have any packet-filtering or NAT translation involved on one of the two hosts? [ Your description of the setup suggests no, but the behavior you describe can happen if one were using a (busy and/or dumb) stateful firewall... ]
