Unknown switch 'passwordsfromfiles'

I get the following message:
C:\Users\yash_ganthe>"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /script=D:\Personal\EXPTS\WinSCP\datatransfer.winscp 
Unknown switch 'passwordsfromfiles'.
In datatransfer.winscp I have:
open scp://ec2-user@myserver/ -hostkey="ssh-ed25519 255 dENqCIg1YzbpTjchTb4kTEknBY6uVCrXYDmyi02iP1g" -privatekey="D:\Personal\prot_key.ppk" -passwordsfromfiles -passphrase=D:\Personal\passphrase.txt
I am using version 5.21.7.

In general, is there a way to keep an encrypted file containing the passphrase and pass it to WinSCP?

That's covered in the link I've posted above.
How would you imagine this to be working? It's impossible. You cannot encrypt anything without a key. And where would you put the key?
