Description brian_k 2004-04-13 05:43:36 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When unmounting a connected SFTP server from
Nautilus, the connection is not closed.  The SFTP
connection remains active.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Connect to a SFTP server
2. Unmount the server
3. ps aux | grep sftp

Actual Results:
SFTP connection remains active.  Reconnecting the
server in Nautilus does not require that the
user's password be entered again.

Expected Results:
SFTP connection remains open.

How often does this happen? 
always

Additional Information:

I meant to say "SFTP connection closes when the server is unmounted" under the
expected results.
Comment 2 André Dahlqvist 2004-05-08 14:25:41 UTC 
I can confirm this too; I have many lines of this type from (failed) connections
to a remote host in "ps aux" output:

oForwardAgent no -oClearAllForwardings yes -oProtocol 2
-oNoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes -l my-username -s the-remote-host sftp

In fact, all these left-over connections seams to cause problems for me to
connect again, even with command-line ssh:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Comment 3 Andrew Sobala 2004-08-28 18:00:43 UTC 
Also happens when you go to an sftp server using control-L.

Confirming, moving to gnome-vfs because I think this is where the code is most
likely to reside.

Commited the patch above (with small improvements) to HEAD. Should be fixed now!
