Summary
The documentation provides both cross-platform and Windows-specific guidance, but there is a mild Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (WinSCP, registry key storage) are mentioned explicitly and given their own example, while Linux/macOS equivalents (OpenSSH, ~/.ssh/known_hosts) are described in a more generic way. Windows registry storage is called out as a separate bullet, and Windows file paths are shown in warning messages before Linux equivalents. The order of presentation sometimes puts Windows-specific content before Linux/macOS, and Windows file paths are shown in error messages.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS client examples (e.g., FileZilla, Cyberduck) and their trusted host storage mechanisms.
- When showing file paths in error messages, show Linux/macOS paths first or side-by-side with Windows paths.
- Include a note or table summarizing how host key storage works on major platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) and popular clients.
- Ensure that cross-platform instructions are presented before or alongside Windows-specific instructions.
- Provide more code or CLI examples for Linux/macOS (e.g., using ssh-keygen, ssh-add, or editing ~/.ssh/known_hosts).
