Hi,

I have Cygwin with OpenSSH version 5.1p1-9 installed.

I managed to make ssh with chroot to work by using ChrootDirectory in sshd_config and copying /bin/bash to the chroot directory.

But I can't make it work for SFTP even when I tried to set:

  ChrootDirectory /

which I expect should be the same as not using chroot at all!. I guess sftp-server simply doesn't support ChrootDirectory option properly. 

Has anybody else experienced the same thing? Can somebody help me in setting up chrooted SFTP server using Cygwin?

Many thanks.
