Please see the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. You don't provide any details, such as version/distro of Linux, or what you've done/tried so far, or what version of SSH. Since 4.8.1, you have a "ChrootDirectory" directive, which you can see in the SSHD documentation, or in the man page of sshd_config. The easiest course of action is to set your user(s) to be in a particular group, then shove something like this:
Code:
Match group jailedusers
          ChrootDirectory /home/jailed
          AllowTcpForwarding no
Restart SSH, and any users in the "jailedusers" directory will ONLY see their home directory, and nothing else.
