Use Ctrl+Del.

Got it thanks for your patients !!

I didn't write that you can use the semicolon with the command-line /edit switch.

You have asked if you can open multiple files from WinSCP, instead of commandline. I've assumed that you mean WinSCP GUI. And that's what my previous post shows.

ok now this I did already try tho. I can open each file as just one but both together ,, no

You can use Shift+F4 and type (or rather paste or later select from the history) a semicolon-separated list of the files you want to edit.

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_edit

yeah that I have seen and does help but I have to log in to server every time I start new instance/file tho,,,

is there no way this type of command can be executed from within WinSCP rather than from windows command prompt ?

No. But you can run multiple instances of WinSCP.

Yeah thanks ,,
So can I do open multiple files on one line tho ?

"F:\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" "BR" /edit /home/autoconfig.json config.json

Well, you can generate the URL. But in this case, I believe it's better to refer to your saved site on the command-line, to avoid duplicating the login info:

thanks
what do i do generate the session URL then use "/edit " ?

You can use the /edit command-line switch:

I use winscp on my lynux server to view and edit multiple text files using the internal editor..

what I would like to know is :- can I make some sort of batch file that will open multiple files to save me having to open all the files one at a time

thanks
