“This tutorial describes how to give users chrooted SSH and/or
chrooted SFTP access on Debian Squeeze. With this setup, you can
give your users shell access without having to fear that they can
see your whole system. Your users will be jailed in a specific
directory which they will not be able to break out of. I will also
show how to restrict users to SFTP so that they cannot use SSH
(this part is independent from the chroot part of this tutorial).
