Can't see changes in file on remote Unix machine “on fly”

Question

Windows 10 (64 bit), Emacs 25.1

in my .emacs I have:

(global-auto-revert-mode t)

So when I open file (in dired mode) on my LOCAL machine it's success refresh opened file "on fly". Nice.

Now I want to do same on file on remote machine. I success connect to remote Unix machine by Tramp mode:

/mylogin@111.222.333.444:

Open file (in dired mode). But when file change it's not refresh "on fly". I need to close file and reopen again to see changes.

How I can see "on fly" changes in file on remote Unix machine.

Please note that the upcoming Emacs 26.1 will require a method in the remote file name. Something like /ssh:mylogin@111.222.333.444: — Michael Albinus, Mar 13 '18 at 11:21

You must set auto-revert-remote-files to a non-nil value.
