$ find 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/elkirtasse/files/' -user $USER

find: 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/elkirtasse/files/': No such file or directory

How, what is the real correct answer

find works on your local drives not internet addresses. You’d have to download that project to use find on it.
find /path/to/server/directory -type f -print | grep "$(whoami)"
