Description Koala Yeung 2013-08-30 03:23:02 UTC 
gvfs-ftpd do not have a keep alive feature. This make connections to FTP servers, especially those have a short timeout time (e.g. 30-120 seconds), unstable.

Saving and loading are not stable even when I have a file editing. I have to manually reconnect every 5 minutes or so. Sometimes that lead to data lost.

Keepalive feature should be at least optional.
It is preferred when a file is opened on that connection.

There was a similar report (although information there may be outdated):

I'm also having problems with ftp timeout. After a 5-minute break, requests give from one to ten errors, then the connection is renewed.
Comment 2 Ross Lagerwall 2015-02-01 11:10:26 UTC 
gvfsd-ftp now automatically reconnects so these errors should have been fixed (see bug 591054).
