i want to allow a user to access my linux debian box.

i don't want them to be able to see my entire directory .. only the directory i specify as theirs. .. kinda like how web hosts do it.

the will need ftp and ssh access .. how can i lock them to their one directory, and not let them view anything above their home?

any ideas?
