For the sake of completeness: 

If `Files::exists` failed for a UNC path before this change, then the code would continue to the FTP fallback and the result would depend on whether a public anonymous FTP server was available on the non-local host. 

After this change, when a UNC path does not exist, then the connection will fail with a `MalformedURLException`, just like the Unix implementation.
