Trying to specify the home directory of all users

Hello,

I am trying to mimic an FTP site by creating a home directory for some remote users and make it easy for my own local users to attach to all the home folders via a Samba share. Not too complicated I hope. Well, I thought it might be easiest to edit the etc/sshrc file to enforce all accounts logging in to change directory to their home folder, so that the file contains nothing but:

cd /Public/$username

However, on a Winows client using WinSCP, I get an error saying "Error skipping startup message." And then "Network error: connection reset by peer". When I log on as root, this does not happen, and I don't get shoved into root's home directory either. I am a total newbie to SSH - would anyone be good enough to point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
