Summary
The documentation page demonstrates subtle Windows bias. SFTP command examples are presented in PowerShell syntax, and the only explicit command-line example references OpenSSH on Windows. There are no Linux-specific SFTP command examples, nor is there mention of Linux-native SSH/SFTP usage patterns. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of examples or tool references, even though SFTP is commonly used on Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific SFTP command examples, such as using the sftp command in a bash shell.
- Present both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash) examples side-by-side when demonstrating SFTP connections.
- Reference Linux-native tools and documentation (e.g., OpenSSH on Linux, usage of ~/.ssh/ directories, key generation with ssh-keygen).
- Avoid using PowerShell syntax exclusively for generic SFTP commands; use platform-neutral syntax or provide both.
- Explicitly mention that SFTP is supported on both Windows and Linux, and provide guidance for both platforms.
