Use winscp.exe sftp://example.com/directory/to/open/
The trailing slash is important.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline#session

b) file (start WinSCP, if not started... and) open the file in EXTERNAL editor.

That's bit problematic as it requires WinSCP to run in the background watching for the edited file. But how? Hidden completely? Just a tray icon? Not sure about that.

Good afternoon,

I am testing WinSCP 5.6.5 RC, the new feature /edit. I have two feature requests:

Would it be possible to add /open command, which will in case of path of type :
a) directory (start WinSCP, if not started... and) open the directory,
b) file (start WinSCP, if not started... and) open the file in EXTERNAL editor.

Thank You, Stepan
