"Open with Parameters" Defaults
Say I have an SSH Session. I would like to right-click -> Open With Parameters -> Open Embedded (SFTP)
When I do, it starts me in my ~/ Directory. I can't go Up. It also shows my Local directory as C:\.
How do I change those 2 values? Ideally once so that all Open Embedded SFTP starts me in / and sets local to C:\username\downloads
Editing the Properties of the Session, there's an SFTP Tab. But changing that doesn't make a difference. This one is frustrating me. I could in theory create a Template and use more clicks every time I connect. But there must be somewhere that I could set the Defaults.
As an aside, how does one clone or convert a session from SSH to SFTP? I see how to do a Batch Edit, which is my fallback plan (Clone and convert), but how would one do this for a single session?

Hello,
There is no way to change the starting directory or the local pane location when using Open with parameters, Open Embedded (SFTP) on an SSH Shell entry. That option launches the embedded SFTP with fixed defaults (home directory of the user on the remote side, and C:\ locally), and those values are not configurable.
As a workaround, you can duplicate the SSH entry and convert the copy to an SFTP entry. Right-click the entry, then Edit, then Edit (Special Actions), then Convert. Once it is an SFTP entry, you can set the Home directory and other SFTP-specific fields on the entry itself, and those values will be used every time you open it.
Best regards,
