hi..how do i set SFTP so when the user logs in, it limits him to only his home directory. I know how to do it in FTP, but not sure about SFTP. Thanks.

What are you using for server software (vsftpd, ProFTPd, etc.)?

i'm just using SFTP as a part of the SSH package. So nothing has been installed. Would you recommend using a separate package to control SFTP connections?

Well, I've never used sftp through ssh, so I couldn't help you. And, I would guess that it is probably easier to just keep using ssh, so, no I would not recommend different software. Unless you're running a more high traffic file server, you probably don't need special server software.

If there is no one in this thread that has help for you, I noticed this interesting, and unfortunately unanswered, thread on this site. It is a new thread though, so perhaps there will be some discussion on it.
