Unknown -passphrase switch in open command.

Hi,
I am using the latest version of WinSCP 5.5.6 but I still have problem for the -passphrase switch to be recognized when using the open command. My scripting line is as follows and when I omit the passphrase switch and entering it manually everything works Ok. When I use the switch I get an error message "Unknown Switch". Documentation mentions that this is a feature of the latest version. Is 5.5.6 the latest version?
open sftp://secretboutique:secretboutique@secretboutique.gr/ -privatekey="C:\Bitway.ppk" -passphrase="xxxxx"
Please advise
Best Regards
Nicolas

Passphrase Not Accepted

Hi,

When I use the -passphrase switch from the command line, it is not passed and I am still prompted to enter the passphrase manually. Any ideas?
winscp.com /command "open sftp://<username>@<host>.com/ -privatekey="C:\temp\ABC-TEST-Upload-PrivKey.ppk" -passphrase="<mypassphrase>"

I'm using 5.7.7.
