Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the only SFTP command example, the code block is marked as 'powershell', and the text references OpenSSH documentation specifically for Windows Server. There is no explicit Linux example or mention of Linux-native tools or workflows, and the only linked SSH overview is for 'SSH from Windows'. While the SFTP protocol itself is cross-platform and the client list includes both Windows and Linux tools, the documentation's examples and references prioritize Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Provide SFTP command examples in a neutral shell format (e.g., bash) or include both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (bash) examples side by side.
- Reference both Windows and Linux OpenSSH documentation, or provide a generic OpenSSH link.
- Explicitly mention that SFTP and SSH key management steps are the same on Linux/macOS, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Avoid marking generic SFTP command blocks as 'powershell' unless they use PowerShell-specific syntax.
- Include Linux-native tools (e.g., sftp, scp, ssh-keygen) in examples and tool recommendations where appropriate.
