Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by mentioning Windows tools (WinSCP) first and providing configuration details for them before referencing alternatives. In the section on optimizing message size, Windows/OpenSSH is described before Linux/OpenSSH, and the example for Windows uses a smaller buffer size than Linux, which could be confusing. There are no Linux-specific SFTP clients (such as lftp or Nautilus) mentioned, nor are Linux GUI tools discussed. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or tool recommendations for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, or alternate which platform is mentioned first.
- Include examples and configuration details for popular Linux SFTP clients (e.g., lftp, Nautilus, GNOME Files, or command-line sftp).
- Clarify why buffer sizes differ between Windows and Linux OpenSSH examples, or provide guidance for both platforms.
- Mention cross-platform SFTP clients (e.g., FileZilla) with configuration instructions for both Windows and Linux.
- Avoid assuming the reader is using Windows-only tools; provide equal detail for Linux workflows.
