Thanks. I've corrected my answer.

actually you have wrong syntax correct is


it does not work without equal sign

That's correct. The /console switch is for opening console window.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline#scripting

If you want to open GUI, use:
winscp.exe sftp://user51:pass@wwwstage.nydc.site2.prv:22/usr/local/www/staging/ /rawsettings LocalDirectory=c:\temp

See
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/rawsettings

after executing command i want GUI to be opened

but this command

opens command prompt (command line interface)

It works for me. Please show us a complete command-line, a console screenshot and a log file.
Also note that I have edited the command-line, because the original form is not recommended anymore (though it still works).

and i need to open GUI that command opens command line interface

I do not understand, what you mean by "open GUI that command opens command line interface". Please try to explain.

You haven't mentioned you are using scripting.

You can do:

I have a saved session with the local and remote directory set. My settings are being saved in a winscp.ini file and the session information looks correct.

...in stored session...
LocalDirectory=C:\temp (in winscp.ini it's C:%5Ctemp)
RemoteDirectory=/remotefolder

...from command prompt...
W:\winscp.com
winscp> open user@sessiondotcom
winscp> pwd
/remotefolder
winscp> lpwd
W:\

I needed to use lcd to change the local, so when I use the synchronize command in a script I'm using the correct directories.

Setting local directory from command line is not supported. You can set it in stored session.

nothing yet?

I am able to specify the remote directory



But I wish I could specify the local directory it should open as well - C:\+PROJECTS+\+PROJECT_A+\SITEA.COM\PRODUCTION\...

Any idea how?

Any tips, tricks, links, suggestions are much appreciated ;)

Thank you all...
