Hi,

i'm often using the ftp features. But the named issue i'm seein' rather 
seldom, and if, not by timeout, but by such things as renaming or 
copying a file on the remote side, which is maybe impossible on some ftp 
implementations. Yes, timed out connections are an issue if the remote 
ftp (server) doesn't allow automatic reconnecting or whatever there is 
happening in the background).
Otherwise i usually get an "directory not found" on the remote side, but 
i am positioned onto the ".." entry and ENTER key reconnects (or 
whatever it does) and i'm on the higher dir level. No real problem for me.
I don't know what really happens in that case, whether mc really 
reconnects with a somehow cached pw or whatever, but it works for me. 
All machines controlled by me use the vsftp server.
