Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. SFTP command examples are presented in PowerShell syntax, and the only explicit SFTP usage example references OpenSSH for Windows Server. There are no Linux-specific examples or mentions of Linux-native tools or workflows, despite SFTP being widely used on Linux. Additionally, references to SSH key management link to instructions for 'SSH from Windows', and the order of presentation favors Windows tools and patterns over Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide SFTP command examples using standard Linux shell syntax (e.g., bash), not just PowerShell.
- Include explicit references and examples for Linux users, such as using OpenSSH on Linux, or common Linux SFTP clients.
- Balance documentation by mentioning both Windows and Linux workflows/tools when discussing SSH key generation, SFTP usage, and authentication.
- Link to Linux SSH key management documentation in addition to Windows instructions.
- Where client lists are given, highlight cross-platform or Linux-native clients, and provide parity in troubleshooting or configuration notes.
