Tony, this server does not have FTP installed and admin does not permit installing it.
I have now tested on my "Ubuntu 18.04 desktop" PC machine (not used frequently) with vim 8.0.1766 installed and executed only one command: :e scp://myuserid@192.168.1.20//path/ and file explorer opened without a problem and I can use arrow keys to select file and file is opened successfully. (The only tiny problem is it asks for password for every task I execute, but this is expected, because no password related settings are set). So there is probably no directory listing problem on this remote server. It looks like a Windows specific problem. Maybe some additional setting is required or something?
