how can i include private key in the open command

I would like open a new session using the private key
ex: open username:password@domainname.com
I dont see an option to include private key in the above command, I would like to automate the script I do not want to use GUI. I would appreciate if some can reply me. thank you.

You have several options:

• Use /privatekey option to set up default private key.
  
• Follow hints in this FAQ.
  
• Use pageant to feed keys.

using the private key option, how do you call the script file?
what is the syntax or is this even possible?
How do I get and put files out there using private key option?

In the latest version you have one more option, to use -privatekey switch with "open" command.

why! i using in script .txt

open sftp://<user>@<host> -privatekey=<privatekey Name>.ppk

it's error : Too many parameters for command 'open'.

You are probably using an old version of WinSCP. The parameter is supported since 4.1.x only.
