Summary:
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. The only specific client configuration example provided is for WinSCP, a Windows-centric SFTP client, and no Linux or cross-platform client (such as OpenSSH, FileZilla, or lftp) is mentioned or given as an example. The troubleshooting and client settings sections do not reference Linux tools or provide parity in examples, which may leave Linux users without clear guidance.
Recommendations:
- Add configuration examples for popular Linux and cross-platform SFTP clients (e.g., OpenSSH's sftp, FileZilla, lftp) alongside or before WinSCP.
- When listing unsupported clients, clarify whether these are Windows-only or cross-platform, and consider including Linux-specific clients if relevant.
- In the 'Client settings' section, provide equivalent settings or notes for Linux clients (e.g., how to disable resume/temporary filename in OpenSSH sftp or FileZilla, if applicable).
- Ensure troubleshooting steps reference both Windows and Linux command-line tools and error messages where appropriate.
- Consider a dedicated section or table comparing client compatibility and configuration steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
