Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools (WinSCP) are mentioned as verification options for SFTP credentials, and third-party base64 encoding tools are recommended before Linux-native command-line solutions. While some Linux commands (openssl, ssh-keygen) are included, they are not always presented as primary options, and there is a lack of explicit Linux/POSIX shell examples for common troubleshooting tasks (e.g., base64 encoding, file verification). The documentation does not provide parity in troubleshooting steps or tool recommendations for Linux users, and Windows-centric tools are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-native command-line examples for base64 encoding (e.g., 'base64 -w 0 < keyfile') alongside or before third-party web tools.
  • Mention Linux/POSIX alternatives to WinSCP, such as FileZilla, lftp, or the native 'sftp' command for credential verification.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps reference both Windows and Linux tools and patterns, and avoid recommending Windows tools exclusively or first.
  • Add explicit Linux shell commands for common operations (e.g., checking file permissions, encoding keys, verifying connectivity) to achieve parity.
  • Where possible, present cross-platform solutions (e.g., Python scripts, CLI commands) before platform-specific GUI tools.
