A while back, I had done this to restrict to a particular directory ,
but it may not be ideal for you as you already have some parent
directories, but you can give a try :
http://www.amitnepal.com/chrooting-users-with-sftp/
Or , you may be able to mount that directory somewhere else and give
access like this :
http://www.amitnepal.com/ftp-access-to-files-outside-base-directory/
Just look at this part :
|mkdir /home/username/extraaccess|
|mount --bind /folder/to/grant/access/ /home/username/extraaccess|

Hi I'm using CentOS 6.5 and we use the users home dir + "public_html"
as the docroot for our websites like this:
/home/user_name/public_html
We are using SSH for SFTP. Each host has only one SFTP user.
What I need to do is add a directory, lets call it uploads like this:
/home/user_name/public_html/uploads
Any content in uploads must be accessible to Apache so it can be
displayed.
And I would like to add a user that can only access
/home/user_name/public_html/uploads and would be able to
add/edit/remove any files in just the uploads directory.
I thought of a link, however that did not work. I created a user
uploads which created a home dir /home/uploads and I tried to link
that to /home/user_name/public_html/ which created
/home/user_name/public_html/uploads . This did not work.
I hope this makes sense.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
Keith
