path on command line

I've tried several variations on the path parameter but always end up in the /home/user dir. In particular, we want to navigate to '/var/www/html' or link to a symbolic link, 'mainwebsite_html' contained in the home/user dir.
None of these params seem to work from the command line, either with the GUI or /console option.
Any suggestion?

thank you,

You need to do something like:
winscp your_session_name/var/www/html
