Light Explorer: Only hidden files (SFTPDRIVE)

Hi,
I am using the latest version of Notepad++ (4.8.5) for PHP Development. It's a great product, and I really enjoy using it. However, recently we had to switch from FTP to SFTP for our source upload, and I started to use the sftpdrive (sftpdrive.com, v1.7.9 [latest]) to connect to my workspace. Everything works perfectly - except one thing:
Light Explorer only displays folders and hidden files!
That is, I can see a .htaccess, but I cannot see an index.php. If I right-click on a folder to open it in Windows Explorer, I can successfully select the file, open it in Notepad++ and save changes. The same is true of all other Windows programs I am using. So it looks like this is a bug in Light Explorer, unfortunately.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem and knows a work-around? Or is it possible that the bug might be fixed?
Many thanks!

Is the server a unixbox?
If it is, does it then help to make the file
executable (chmod +x filename) in an ssh/telnet session.
If that helps, then it looks like my samba problems :-(

Hi Björn,
thanks a lot for your response! Unfortunately, it does not help. Neither setting the directory executable nor the files it contains solves the problem - I can only see hidden files. How perverse ;)
Is there a way to alert the developers of this problem?

I had a look in the light Explorer plugin and saw some fiddling with attributes when reading files
from disk.
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_03.html>
says that executable bit is mapped to archive bit.
However, not being a c/c++ programmer, I could not make anything out of the code :-(
The sftp plugin may or may not use the same tests when populating lists.
