Research direction

Reproduce the remote-server Download action in Apache NetBeans 13 on Windows 11 with JDK 17, using a folder whose path contains spaces. Trace the remote download flow to determine why the files-for-transfer dialog is empty. Done means existing files are listed and can be downloaded from such folders.
