Summary
The documentation page generally provides cross-platform troubleshooting guidance for FTP, SFTP, and HTTP connectors in Azure Data Factory and Synapse. However, there are subtle Windows biases: WinSCP (a Windows-only tool) is recommended for credential verification, and the only third-party base64 tool linked is a web service, with no mention of Linux CLI alternatives. In the code examples, Linux commands (openssl, ssh-keygen) are present, but the order of tool recommendations sometimes favors Windows. The HTTP status code documentation link points to IIS (Windows web server) documentation, which may not be relevant for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • When recommending tools for credential verification, include cross-platform options (e.g., FileZilla, Cyberduck) alongside WinSCP.
  • For base64 encoding, provide Linux/macOS CLI examples (e.g., 'base64 < keyfile > keyfile.b64') in addition to web tools.
  • When linking to HTTP status code documentation, use a vendor-neutral or RFC reference instead of IIS-specific docs.
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS examples are shown alongside or before Windows-specific ones, especially for common troubleshooting tasks.
