Challenges in uploading download data from Windows machine using Client

I am working from my Windows 10 machine with running datafed 1.1.0:0 from pypi and am using Python 3.6

I can create records, view collections, edit items just fine using the CLI and CommandLib. However, uploads and downloads fail if I do not specify the full path of the file including the Endpoint's UUID or Legacy name. These commands work just fine on Linux and Mac but not on Windows. I am suspecting some kind of a path manipulation issue in MessageLib. Here are some experiments I tried on the CLI:

CLI:
