I am working on configuring an SFTP server on Ubuntu Server 18.04. I want to create SFTP accounts that point directly to their working directory without listing others. For example if the real working directory on the server is
where I can upload and download files.
Update: why not setting chrootdirectory in
/sftpdir1/sftpdir2/user1
, the user should see it as /
and not /user1
like when using chrootdirectory
: when I login via FileZilla I should find as shown in the image below 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
If I have more then on user assigned to the same group, so having the same chrootdirectory
, any user among will see others' working directory. Or by logging in I don't want the user to see others' dir nor the tree of his/her own working directory: just find /
like shown in the image.
