I really don’t want to install a ftp client. How could I give SFTP access to a developer and have him limited to one directory i.e /var/www/htm/temp/
He should have full read and write access to everything above /temp Ideally, if he tries to login in via ssh it wold not allow it. I’ve read several tutorials now and tried different things with chroot, but just can’t seem to get it correct. Thanks for any help!
I’m using the latest Ubuntu LTS version.

I just hired him from a job board and I’ve only know him for 5 minutes. I do have an image backup in the worst case. But, is there a secure way to do this?
Why don’t you trust your developer? What prevents him from executing shell commands through your web server?
