Restricting SSH user to his homedir
I want to be able to achieve a similar result as with FTP where a user logs in and cannot cd to any other directory, can this be done for users logging in via SSH?
Thanks

Sure. You're looking for "jails". Check out the chroot command (man chroot) and tutorials on setting up "chroot jails".
