Hello So, now I have this problem… I’m able to create a new user and change it’s home folder to where I want:
adduser --no-create-home username
chown username:username /var/www/html/
usermod --home /var/www/html/ username
But now how can I limit this user to see/write only in its home directory (/var/www/html/) and not go above this directory via ftp? Right now the user is able to see everything. Anyone has any ideia? I was not able to find an answear for this using openssh-sftp. I’m using ubuntu 14.04, btw.
Thank you!

Is there any security issue with containing Group users except myself (mr-admin) in sshd_config this way:
… Match Group users ChrootDirectory %h AllowTCPForwarding no X11Forwarding no ForceCommand internal-sftp
Match User mr-admin ChrootDirectory / AllowTCPForwarding no X11Forwarding no ForceCommand internal-sftp
Hey, I read here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04
and under step two, you’ll find:
By uncommenting command to chroot_local_user. When this line is set to Yes, all the local users will be jailed within their chroot and will be denied access to any other part of the server.
that way, you make boundaries.
where you using the correct port 22 in filezila for the new user?
