Windows 10: FTP folder not auto refresh in Windows 10

Hi all,


I have a ftp folder in Windows 10. The ftp folder doesn't auto refresh. I need to press F5 to make it fresh. Even I close the folder and reopen it, the folder didn't refresh itself. However, the folder can auto refresh in Windows 7. Is it a default behaviour for Windows 10 or some configuration problem? I have followed many advice on auto-refresh file explorer but no luck. Anyone can help?


Thanks,

Ken.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

FTP Access IIS

Hi

I set up an FTP site using IIS to share files within my LAN. I have created a new user on the same PC as FTP site but when i try to access FTP folder from any device on the LAN using username and password of
my new user it refuses to let me in showing the following: Could not log in to the FTP server with the username and password specified.

Steps that I have gone through when setting up FTP:

• Created ftp folder and set up FTP server
• specified path to the folder
• did not use SSL
• specified IP
• Created new windows user and added this user to FTP authorisation Rules
• Excluded FTP from firewall
• Allowed new user access to the folder itself

Tried to access using both file directory and internet explorer

Did not enable port triggering in the router as was only planning to use FTP locally

I would highly appreciate your help

 

Windows 10 Folder Auto Refreshes to Fast

Hello Troy,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you while access the files and folders, we will help you with this issue.

This issue might be due to corrupted or missing files or viruses on the device.

I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check.

Step 1: I suggest you to run the Windows Defender and check.

Step 2: Run the SFC.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
  

If the issue still persists,

Step 3: Run the DISM Tool.

If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the
  Enter key after each command:
  

• 
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  
• 
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  

3. To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type
Exit, and then press Enter.
Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.



Hope it helps. Perform the above troubleshooting steps and kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
