Hi Everybody!
I added a new user to a new group on my Ubuntu droplet. This group can read and write in the /var/www/homepage directory also. I changed the user home directory to the /var/www/homepage BUT how can I disable to navigate out from here on an SFTP connection?
Thanks for your answers and help!
