Changing sftp user's home directory

[keith smith]

Okay that was it.  Now I need to limit that user to that one directory.  Would that be some kind of chroot?

Can you change the user's ssh home directory to the vhost's directory? SFTP uses SSH's home directory if I recall correctly...

Hi,

I'm running centOS 5 something. I configure SFTP and removed FTP.  Now I need to add a user, lets say billybob.  By default his home directory would be /hone/billybob.  I need to remove that and give him access to only one directory within the docroot of a vhost.  Say the directory /home/someVhost/public_html/documents/



I only want billybob to have access to the directory documents.  I've search google, however I am not finding the answer.

Any help much appreciated.
