Hi, Richard, Charles, and Patrik,
I seem to recall around the time when Windows 10 came out, there were performance problems due to Windows Explorer constantly polling the SMB servers to see if any files had changed. This was apparently causing performance problems for IBM i or OS/400 systems and the IFS when accessed via IBM's NetServer "shares" (using the SMB protocol).
I recall this went on for some period of time, with IBM pointing the finger at Microsoft and vice versa. Not sure how it was finally resolved, but I think that IBM NetServer no longer honors or just simply ignores those "polling" requests, to avoid a performance impact, and that may be why you do not see the files get refreshed automatically.
However, it is easy enough to press F5 once in a while. :-)
At least, that's what I seem to recall ... Does anyone else remember that issue and how it got resolved?
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

Are you using the SAMBA server ?
I've being doing lots with the SAMBA client which is cool because it doesn't require NetServer or the SAMBA server to be running.
You just use the SMBCLIENT pase command.

I wouldn't expect it to update when looking at a folder over the network, regardless of whether or not the server is an IBM i or a Windows server.
It does, at least with samba being used as the server.
