Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

Many servers will drop the connection if no activity happens on the wire. When 
this happens any operation (like copying a file in nautilus, or saving in 
gedit), just hangs for ever, locking up the program. This could be fixed by 
first testing if the connection still exists and if it doesn't try to 
reconnecting and if that fails, send a fail to the application.
It could also be fixed by periodically sending out NOOP to keep the connection 
alive.

** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
