I created a new sftp accont with the new chroot facility in ssh.But when I login it doesn't take me the right directory.
tail /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match User sftptest
ChrootDirectory /temp
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp

when I login using sftptest
sftptest@server's password:
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /
sftp> cd ftp
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /ftp

how can I directly go to /temp/ftp when I login without
doing cd ftp?

Thanks!
 
I'm trying to set up a simple chroot sftp as well and having an issue.

# ssh -v
OpenSSH_5.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h 28 May 2008

# tail /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

# Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis
Match User ftptest
ChrootDirectory /chroot
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp


Then when I try to connect from another machine I put in my password and get connection closed and I'm not sure why?

debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0
debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1

debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0
debug1: Exit status 255

any suggestions on why this isn't working?
