chroot openssh access www folder
here is the setup<br/>
sshd_config:
<pre>
Match User sftp
ChrootDirectory /chroot/sftp
</pre>

I connect just fine to the folder
<pre>/chroot/sftp</pre>
However I cannot access the website developer folder due to it being outside the scope of the defined chrootdirectory
<pre>/usr/lib/apache2/htdocs</pre>ch
How can I access this directory? Is it possible to define the access through sshd_config?<br/>
mount --bind is not available

In Solaris you can use a loopback filesystem (lofs). I'm not sure if there is an equivalent tool for Linux, but you didn't mention what OS you are using.

I am using sco unix.

I have tried:
mount -F lofs
This however returns:
UX:mount.svr5: ERROR: lofs: no such file system type
