I'm using Filezilla to check if new files arrived in different folder on a FTP. But I always have to do a refresh of the folder manually with F5.
When I click on a folder that I already clicked before, the refresh is not done.
How can I enable Filezilla to always update(refresh) a folder when I click it?

With FileZilla 3, this isn't possible. Ticket #8111 is an open feature request that asks for an option to disable the caching of the directory listing.
You have two options:
Install FileZilla 2.2.32.
Disabling the directory cache is straightforward in FileZilla 2:
If downgrading is not an option, you can download, modify and compile the source code.
The modification is easy. The file src/engine/directorycache.h of the FileZilla 3.5.3 source code contains the following:
As you can see, the default timeout is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Setting the timeout to zero should disable the directory cache.
Compiling is a lot more difficult. The official tutorial Compiling FileZilla 3 under Windows explains how.
