I am working on configuring an SFTP server on Ubuntu Server 18.04. I want to create SFTP accounts that point directly to their working directories without listing others. For example if the real working directory on the server is /sftpdir1/sftpdir2/user1, the user should see it as / and not /user1 like when using chrootdirectory: when I login via FileZilla I should find as shown in the image below 1 where I can upload and download files.

Does this answer your question? How can I chroot sftp-only SSH users into their homes? – pLumo Jun 02 '20 at 14:05
@pLumo no it doesn't. Actually I've tried this obviously but if there is many users assigned to the same group, By logging in , all their directories will be listed, the actual user will find him/her self under /username but I want him/her to ber under / where he/her can download and upload, but this is impossible with the chrootdirectory because it is owned by the root ! – fadwa dhifi Jun 02 '20 at 15:04
