Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows connection and copy instructions before Linux, providing detailed examples and screenshots for Windows (including use of Robocopy and File Explorer), and omitting equivalent Linux copy tool examples (such as rsync or cp for SMB). The only Linux SMB example is a single mount command, and there is no detailed walkthrough or output sample for Linux users. The primary file copy tool discussed is Robocopy, a Windows-specific utility, with no mention of Linux alternatives for SMB data transfer.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux SMB copy examples using common tools such as smbclient, mount.cifs, rsync, or cp, including command syntax and sample output.
- Include Linux screenshots or terminal output to parallel the detailed Windows walkthrough.
- List Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows, or in a parallel structure, rather than after or as an afterthought.
- Mention and explain Linux-native tools for performance copying (e.g., rsync with SMB/CIFS mounts) and discuss tuning options analogous to the Robocopy parameters.
- Reference troubleshooting steps and log file viewing on Linux systems, not just Windows (e.g., using less, cat, or tail).
- Ensure that all steps (connecting, copying, verifying, troubleshooting) have Linux parity in detail and clarity.
