Bug Description

Binary package hint: vsftpd

I have a desktop pc (Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64) and a laptop (EEEpc with Ubuntu 8.10).
On both computers I installed vsftpd and I interchange files between the two pc using the "Computer" window, using the command ftp://user@192.168.YYY.YYY/home/user the home dir is mounted and I can move files, it works like a charm.
But if I forget the window opened for a while, without using it, some minutes but I don' t know how much time exactly, and after that I drag a file into the window the connection doesn' t work, the window get gray and I have no choice: I need to restart my session (not reboot, just relogin) on both pcs.

well, to reproduce it it is enough to the procedure exactly as I detalled in the first post.
actually I'm no more using vsftp, I preferred ssh: quickest, more secure, no bugs.
Anyway if you open an ftp session, using vsftp, between two computers (one in wireless), you should be able to reproduce the problem.
Open a session form the wired pc to the wireless pc, drag and drop a file, then wait 5 minutes, more or less, and do it again.
