       Hello,

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