How to prevent Windows 10 File Explorer from caching files and folders from FTP?
I use Windows 10, when connecting to FTP, the standard windows explorer is cached for some reason.
It may look like this:
1) I uploaded some files to the root on FTP, moved to a subfolder, changed files on the remote machine (changed the extension, for example), after which I returned to the root on FTP - the list of files was not updated, only forced pressing F5
2) I upload the files to FTP, immediately download them back, then change the contents of the file on the remote machine. In the explorer I press F5, I download the same file and ... there are no changes in it. They appear if the file is renamed and immediately downloaded.
3) When connecting to FTP from another machine (Win7 / 8), this problem does not arise - i.e. files are updated with each transition between folders, and if the file inside has changed, then the already changed one is downloaded.
I tried in the settings of Internet Explorer to enable forced updating of the site cache at each login, but it did not help.
