Hello,
I need to add an SFTP user to a droplet with Apache with access to the /var/www/html directory only.
On this droplet password authentication is disabled and the ufw firewall is active.
The goal is to give temporary access to a WordPress plugin developer for troubleshooting and later revoke their access — all without reducing the security of the server.
Thanks!

It can maybe useful for you.
Thank you!
Install and configure VSFTP given as per given at below link.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04
As you want to give access to a particular directory, please find the below step after installation of VSFTP.
By changing User’s Home directory
Make sure following line exists /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf
chrootlocaluser=YES
Set User HOME Directory to /var/www/html, if you want to change for existing user then you can use :
usermod –home /var/www/ username
then set required permission on /var/www/html
Kindly follow the above step and do let me know in case of any query.
