nppftp doesn't reload changed files

I use the nppftp-plugin on a sftp-server. That works fine but when a file on the server is changed directly (or in parallel by someone else), npp does not detect this. A file reload also doesn't read the changed content. I must close the file and open it again to get the new content. And what if I am not aware that the file was changed (for ex another coder is editing php file in parallel)
Is there any solution for that?
There isn't any solution, NppFTP will never check files on its own on a remote server (one of the aims of this plugin was to keep it simple). File reload won't do any good, as this is just reloading the local copy of the file (NppFTP can't override this behavior).
I find this to be too unreliable anyways for a bunch of reasons; you probably know this but I still suggest a revision control system.
