Remote edit doesn't notice changed source file

When I edit a remote file using Notepad++, then log onto the remote machine and change the file there, I don't get notification in NP++. I tried doing a 'reload from disk', but it didn't see the change. If I do a 'file save' in NP++, it overwrites the changed file. I tried this with Notepad and I see the same problem.

Hello ..

The FTP client doesn't know when the file on the server changes. I also don't know of any FTP client which offers such a feature.
