can't access remote files in `nvim-tree` or `netrw`, but can create files over `sshfs`

Description

I'm using this plugin to work remotely, among many others.

nvim-tree (evennetrw) doesn't show anything from the mounted folder on the server, however, you can perform edit operations from nvim-tree directly, such as creating a new file (see image, I basically pressed a on top of the folder in nvim-tree explorer).

I checked on the server and the file was indeed created.

Thanks

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim -nu /tmp/clean.lua
2. :RemoteSSHFSConnect
3. :NvimTreeOpen
4. expand the mounted folder

Expected behavior

List all files, directories, normal navigation as one would have locally.
