nautilus and sftp

[=?iso-8859-15?q?Fr=E9d=E9rick_Amorison?= <frederick amorison minfin fed be>]

Hi,

I'm using Nautilus to access servers placed behind a firewall with 
sftp protocol. On this firewall, a connection timeout is defined for 
all connections. I have no possibilities to modify the firewall 
configuration.

The problem is that once a sftp connection is done via nautilus, it 
keeps this connection open and then grows up to 100% CPU usage when 
the timeout occurs. I'm then obliged to do a "killall nautilus" to 
restart it.

I would like to know if (and where) it's possible to force nautilus to 
close this sftp connection to avoid this situation.

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux Sarge on i386 with Nautilus 2.4.2 from the 
official Debian package.

Thank's for your help.
