Hello everyone, Greetings :~)

I am new in this mailing list, and this is my first posting.

I am wondering how to restrict out SFTP users, when connecting to the server, to their home directories only. The users can cd/mkdir in their home directory (where SFTP puts them), but they should not be able to jump outside (say, cd /home). Is it possible, and if yes, how?

I've searched the Archives, and found that Tia asked the same question 5 months ago, but did not get any reply. I hope someone knowing the answer now. Tia, have you solved this problem?

Thank you very much in advance!
