+weifangsun, +tbuckley so that you are aware of this limitation.

Fuse does not support inotify.  We will not be able to support these features using sshfs.

The best you can do is to refresh FilesApp (refresh icon at top, or change directory and change back).  After refresh, you should see the correct view of files.

I guess we should turn this into a feature request, as we could make this work if we really want to (e.g. sidechannel the inotify messages over mojo, or potentially patch FUSE).

I observe similar behavior about delete folder. Not sure if this a same issue:

1) From Files app, right click on Linux filers and create a new folder
2) From terminal, enter rmdir the above folder
3) From Files app, click on Refresh

Expected result:
 a) folder should be remove from right panel
 b) Folder should be removed from the Linux file tree in the left panel

Actual result:
 a) (Good) Folder was removed from right panel
 b) Folder was still listed under the Linux files tree in the left panel despite Refresh. It'll only be updated when I minimize the Linux files tree

Please note: If the deletion of folder was done from UI, then both right panel and left panel would be updated correctly
