Summary:
The documentation page shows a mild Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools (WinSCP) as the only example for verifying SFTP credentials, and recommends a third-party web tool for base64 encoding before mentioning command-line options. While some Linux commands (openssl, ssh-keygen) are included, there are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples for verifying SFTP connections (e.g., using sftp or scp), and the order of tool recommendations sometimes puts Windows or web tools first. There are also no PowerShell-specific examples, but Linux-native troubleshooting tools are underrepresented.
Recommendations:
- When suggesting tools to verify SFTP credentials, include Linux-native options such as the 'sftp' or 'ssh' command-line tools, not just WinSCP.
- When recommending base64 encoding, provide both Linux (e.g., 'base64' command) and Windows (e.g., certutil or PowerShell) command-line examples, and mention them before or alongside web tools.
- For troubleshooting steps that involve checking connectivity or permissions, include cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., 'telnet', 'nc', 'curl', 'sftp') for both Windows and Linux.
- Ensure that Linux tools and patterns are mentioned at least as prominently as Windows tools, and avoid listing Windows tools first by default.
- Where possible, clarify that the instructions and recommendations apply to both Windows and Linux environments, or provide parallel instructions for each.
