ajaxorg/cloud9 — Issue #786: [1.9.5] c9 FTP doesn't keep a connection alive

I work on a project using FTP on c9.com and hosted at a hosting company. The idle time set up by the hosting company is very short ~ 3.3 minutes. E.G. If I don't make an FTP request in cloud9 within this time period, I'll have to copy all changed documents, reload the page and then paste in my changes before saving and hence FTP'ing to the hosting company server. What's more is that I don't get any error messages in the console. Actually it happens quite often that I don't get anything at all in the FTP console*.

It would be neat if c9 would reopen the connection when it's closed by the server.

Cheers, Jon

* Like the time where the quota was exceeded and the server just deleted all content from the files I tried to upload. I had to start up a FTP shell to see what actually happen.
