ok i don't know if this has any relation with this or not, but for some reason SFTP works just fine with GVFS, though I used some other ftp clients before, they seemed to drop the connection after a while, but nautilus seems to keep the connection alive for a long time, if it's possible maybe you could some how check what's the difference and makes the problem disappear in the SFTP mode..
