I want to create an ID (that part is easy) on an Ubuntu system that has SFTP read/write access to one directory only.. and not their own home directory, preferably a directory that another group owns. Basically the SFTP only user can have access to upload files to a directory that become part of a website, but only for that one directory.

Doesn't seem as easy as I thought as I'm finding articles on how to jail a user and stuff, but I'm not comfortable with the kinds of things they're describing.

Is there a fairly easy way to do this?

TIA
