Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing SFTP connection examples using PowerShell syntax and referencing Windows-specific tools (such as OpenSSH for Windows) without offering equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples. The only SFTP command-line examples are shown in PowerShell code blocks, and the only explicit client walkthrough is for OpenSSH on Windows. There is no mention or example of using native Linux/macOS SFTP clients, nor are Linux-specific tools or workflows discussed. This may make the documentation less accessible or immediately useful to Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Provide SFTP connection examples using standard Linux/macOS shell syntax (e.g., bash), alongside or instead of PowerShell.
- Include explicit references to native Linux/macOS SFTP clients and workflows, such as the default 'sftp' command or 'scp' on Unix-like systems.
- Ensure that code blocks are marked appropriately for the shell being used (e.g., 'bash' instead of 'powershell' when showing cross-platform commands).
- Mention that the SFTP protocol and commands are cross-platform, and clarify any platform-specific differences if relevant.
- Where Windows-specific tools are referenced (e.g., OpenSSH for Windows), also reference their Linux/macOS equivalents.
- Consider adding a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, summarizing any differences or additional steps required.
