folder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, once a WinSCP session is open, you&#8217;ll get to the user&#8217;s home folder, let&#8217;s say that you login <strong>John&#8217;s <\/strong>user, then you&#8217;ll be left inside the <strong>\/home\/John<\/strong> directory, the only case that is different is the &#8220;root&#8221; user, the default folder for the &#8220;root&#8221; account is just \/root, see screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a
