Where is the Network Browser Developer?
Well, I am assuming that the developer of the Network Browser app doesn't have much interest in supporting his product. Why do I say this? Because I made three posts here 18 days ago, and they all remain unanswered, not even by other forum visitors.
One of my biggest problems is that Network Browser cannot display a list of items for certain folders and subfolders, even after several attempts. It just shows a blank white screen without anything being listed.
I get the impression that this may possibly have something to do with the app having some kind of built-in limit with regard to how many items it can list. But this is just a guess on my part.
If anyone knows a solution to this issue, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

There is no built in limit. It must be running into a parse error with a filename it does not like.

Wow! A response! I had just about given up getting any kind of support here. 😄
Okay, well, what I can tell you is that I use Network Browser to connect to my Apple Studio. As you may possibly know, with macOS, the only character which cannot be used in folder and file names is the colon, because it is used in path names.
Every other letter, number and symbol is permissible in both folder names and file names.
Aside from uppercase and lowercase letters, I do normally use spaces, underscores and dashes in my file names, and less frequently, apostrophes and question marks. Maybe even double quote marks here and there.
Could this be the problem?
I don't know if you noticed or not, But I made a few other posts here about four weeks ago which also remain unanswered. I offered some comments and app suggestions in those. Can you please answer those as well? Thanks!

Okay, I just started doing some testing by opening different folders on my Apple Studio.
Thus far, I can determine that Network Browser has no problem with dashes and apostrophes being in file and folder names.
However, then I tried opening another folder where again, Network Browser just hangs.
So I went to the very same folder on my iPhone using the FileBrowser app in order to determine what is in the troublesome folder.
Well, it only contains three plain text files, all three of which have file names which are only 8 characters long, followed by the .txt file extension.
One of the file names includes a dash, which as I said, does not appear to be a problem for Network Browser.
The largest of the three files is only 56.7 Kb in size.
FileBrowser has no problem opening any of these files, but Network Browser can't even list the three files. As I said, it just hangs with a white screen, and the progress bar moving back and forth as it tries to list the folder contents.
I don't know if the above info will help or not, but there it is for what it is worth.
I will do a little more experimenting in order to determine if any other characters are causing a problem.
