To force the session to open in a new instance of WinSCP, use ''/==newinstance=='' parameter. If no session is specified on command-line, [[ui_login|Login dialog]] opens to select one.
The parameter ''/==privatekey=='' specifies a [[local_path|local path]] to an [[public_key#private|SSH private key file]]. If the key file is encrypted, use the ''/passphrase'' to specify its passphrase. The passphrase [[#passwordsfromfiles|can be read from a file]].

Use ''/==defaults=='' parameter along with ''/upload'', ''/synchronize'' or ''/keepuptodate'' to skip the settings dialog and start the operation straight away with default settings.
