How do I open a WinSCP file?

You can make the command open the file in any external editor in preferences. From submenu File(s) > Edit (alternative) you can open the file in any of configured editors, or even ad hoc editor (Edit With). By default the file is also opened in editor when double-clicked1 (this can be changed in preferences).
