(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.

For scp it seems (from the netrw documentation) that the problem is
not even Windows-related, see :help netrw-passwd §2. But there is
there a link to :help netrw-ssh-hack — maybe that can help you… ah,
about 1½ screen lower than that there is a paragraph starting "For
Windows users". The rest may or may not be applicable to you.

Best regards,
Tony.
