Limiting Access, can this be done?


Hi,

I am running CentOS. I only use SFTP to transfer files to/from the
server. I can log in using SSH, of course.

The problem is, one of my clients wants an employee to be able to
upload files to one of their Apache directories. So, I've created a
user for them, but I want to limit access such that the user cannot go
anywhere else but that directory.

I've changed his home directory to be where the images will be
uploaded, but I can still change directories and look around.

Can this be done, limiting the users access to his home directory,
without destroying the Webserver from accessing the files??

Any help would be great....

Thanks.
