Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm using Hardy Heron Beta. I'm at most ever 12 hours out of sync with
the repositories. This bug has been around for at least the last week -
possibly before, but that's when I first tried Hardy Heron - just before
beta.

If I use gftp or command line ssh, I can visit and use remote
directories and files. If I try to do the same thing through Nautilus,
it fails.

To reproduce on my system with sftp:
Click Places, Connect to Server, Choose Custom Service type, enter the URI 
sftp://somesftpserver.com/some/starting/directory.
Username/password dialog pops up.
Answer username and password, and choose to remember until logout.
Connection is made and initial directory is shown in a Nautilus window. 
Double clicking on a folder to move into a subdirectory results in a long wait. 
Eventually Nautilus responds with:

"Couldn't display "sftp://my-sftp-server.com/big/dom/homespace/www";.

Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "www": DBus error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken."

I've posted here with sftp because I've just had the bug again, but I'm
pretty sure that I've had the same problem doing the same thing using
the ssh option in Connect to Server. On the other hand: as I wrote this
report, I tried using teh ssh option, and I got in with no problems, and
was able to move around the directory structure without the error, so
this should be treated as hearsay.

Having followed my instructions above, I now have a network place
sftp://etc. Double clicking this allows me to open it with a little help
with paths. Clicking on a subdirectory results in a neverending wait.
This might be a different bug. A comparison of which processes were
running before and while experiencing the bug shows that the problem is
in process ssh - i.e. package openssh-client: /usr/bin/ssh .
