Use [[session_url|session URL]] or name of the [[session_configuration#site|site]]. To open site, stored in folder, use path syntax “folder/site”. Using session URL is preferred as it makes your script independent on the persisted configuration.
Note that to allow the session be opened automatically without interaction, you need to make sure you provide all details, including all credentials. Generally, you need to provide a password in your [[session_url|session URL]] or [[session_configuration#site|site]]. With [[ssh|SSH]] you may alternatively use passphrase-less private key or use [[ui_pageant|Pageant]]. With SSH and [[ftps|FTPS]] you need to [[scripting#hostkey|verify the host or certificate]].

Parameters mapping: [[session_url|Session URL]] in command parameter ''session_url'' needs to be separated to its components, which are to be stored into ''SessionOptions.HostName'' (''host'' component), ''SessionOptions.UserName'' (''username''), ''SessionOptions.Password'' (''password''), ''SessionOptions.PortNumber'' (''port'') and ''SessionOptions.Protocol'' (''sftp|ftp|ftps|scp://'').

-There is no direct mapping for opening stored session/site using ''site'' parameter, becase .NET assembly [[library_from_script#default_config|does not share configuration]] with graphical/scripting mode. You need to configure all your site settings directly in your code (using ''[[library_sessionoptions|SessionOptions]]'' class).+There is no direct mapping for opening stored site using ''site'' parameter, because .NET assembly [[library_from_script#default_config|does not share configuration]] with graphical/scripting mode.
