About changing nautilus timeouts

I've been googling for this to no avail, so I thought someone here might 
be able to enlighten me.

I am using Nautilus to connect to an FTP server that is rather sluggish 
(yeah, you guessed it: MS IIS). The slowness of this server makes 
Nautilus timeout ("The folder contents could not be displayed") after 
authentication and while trying to list the directory contents. I can 
confirm that the list operation takes some time, using /usr/bin/ftp, but 
eventually completes. So I'm guessing Nautilus (or some core gnome thing 
- gnomevfs?) has shorter timeouts than that. However I can't seem to 
find anything relevant in nautilus, cog or gconf. So, is there any way 
to increase the relevant timeout at all?

Thanks,
Panagiotis
