Can you tell me some sequence of steps you do that would show actual problem?

Right. You just forgot to mention that WinSCP has to be installed on a network drive first. Then set to use INI-File, also correct all other (local) paths to network drives. Then store your sessions. now you can call them from any network client from commandline.

OK, I may add port option on command line. However better solution for you is to configure session and save settings to INI file instead of registry (see preferences dialog). Than you may specify name of the stored session to open on command line.

I also could make use of command line options, I operate on several different machines on a network, none of which remember any settings.

When i log in, the network executes a startup script that loads various programs for me. While I can enter into the script something along the lines of 'WinScp user@host', I find errors when I add 'WinScp user@host:port' because it tries to resolve host:port as a domain name.

Essentially, I want to be able to start a session on a custom port from command line without using a pre-saved profile, rather than just transfer one file.

Perhaps theres an option I'm missing, if not then surely something as minor as custom ports from the command line can be added to the next version - please?!

Many Thanks

Use some command line SCP tool. PSCP for example.

i really really need the ability to send files with command-line options , like
winscp file.txt 200.245.323.121:/root

just like in linux.. ;)
