Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 19
### What happened
I tried to synchronize my files from a mapped network drive in Windows 11 to a FTP-Server and it fails because the first letter is always missing so the sync fails, here you have screenshots for better understanding:


I had this issue also in Netbeans 18 and tried to update to Netbeans 19, same problem.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing synchronization from a mapped Windows 11 network drive to an FTP server, comparing NetBeans 14 with 18 or 19. Done means the complete first path letter is preserved and synchronization succeeds.
