connection forcibly closed

Hey Guys... I am testing out VS.PHP as a potential replacement for Eclipse PDT (it doesn't support sftp *and* doesn't behave well with the quirkiness of SFTP Drive).

So far I like what I see, but I am having a few problems... I wanted to start with the biggest...

I am able to successfully connect to my SFTP location and work with my files without fail... that is until I leave my desk for more than 15 minutes... if I do, and try to edit and save any files, it hangs for a while and gives me the "connection forcibly closed" error. The only thing I can do at this point is copy and paste the file I was working on into notepad, close the solution, open the solution and paste whatever changes I have made back into the original file...

this is problematic for several reasons, the most annoying being that when I paste the changes back in, VS attempt to automatically reset the line indentions to what *it* thinks is correct, resulting in all of my JavaScript blocks completely loosing all indention (my worst experience consisted of 1200 lines of JS that I had to reset indentions for...).

Really, this is a dealbreaker for us... we need a way to maintain a persistant connection with our SFTP server at all times... even if we walk away for an hour... or at least a way to notify us *when* we loose connection, not waiting until after we've made countless changes to the code and attempted to save the file...

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!
