I used to feel smug about the lack of a Refresh option...

Now I think I need one...
I save an item into a shared folder, and it just doesn't show... it does if I log out and back in, but that's hardly ideal.
Is there any quick way to force this folder to refresh?
(PS: I know the Finder has issues in this area, but they're MUCH worse in the shared folder scenario...)

Force-quitting the Finder should do it. (It will relaunch automatically.)

AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
update folder of front window
end tell
Works for me, I'm not sure how it will work on network folders (no reason to expect it won't) but it definitely works well when you're manipulating files in the Terminal and the Finder window doesn't update.
I've seen a varation of this used as a Finder toolbar script, that might be what you want to do.

Get FileUtilsCM. It will give you a Refresh command right in your contextual (control-click) menu.

Yeah, the Finder blows. In regards to updating windows, it seems to have gotten MUCH better since 10.1, though - I don't have the problem much anymore.
Usually clicking out of the window to, say, the desktop, and then back again updates it.
