Hi Guys,
   This forum is great. I have a problem here. I've been trying to
configure OpenSSH to restrict users to a certain directory during SFTP
but to no success. Is there a way to chroot the users doing sftp into
the server and limiting them to the particular directory only?

Hope anybody out there can help me. I'm desperate.

Thanks guys!
