Restrict an SFTP logins to a specfic folder

Need to have the ability to setup restrict an SFTP logins to a specific folder inside a website. For example, domain.com/orders/xmlfiles/. And if there is a way to restict that login to a specfic IP address that would be awesome.

    I see that the Cloudways team has thought of almost everything, this is an important option that is needed to be able to give permissions to non-technical and external teams to certain folders without risk

    how is this not a default feature? Any update on when this will be added?

    I would like to be able to restrict FTP to a directory as well and my reason is security. Take for example the case in which you need to give partial access to another party for technical troubleshooting without giving full access to the app.

    What's holding this up? This is a serious deal breaker. Is there a workaround for this? For example can we create a new application and nest it within an existing one?

    Would be GREAT this feature. I have some employees that can't have access to whole apps. Only to specific folders.

    We really need the ability to restrict a SFTP login to a specific folder. This should have been done already. I am stuck today. Just discovered this feature does not exist.

    Hey Guys, This one you can't decide by Vote. This is mandatory feature of Web Development. You should bring this feature by Default.

    This should definitely be a feature cloudways adds to their system for multiple reasons. Would help with security, simplicity of use, a standard other hosting services provide.

    I need the sftp-option for wordpress projects: worpdress has an "uploads" folder where inside this folder a individual sub-folder should be selectable as target-folder for a new sftp-user functionality. At the moment only a stft-accout can be set everytime in the root-folder which is not usable when create a automated data-import feature (very often used for real estate projects or car-seller websites > sending automated xml, csv data as zip-files with images and pdfs which then will be extraceted an imported into worpdpress for new offers...)

    Any chance this will get implemented?
    It's not that complicated to do directly on Ubuntu for example so it shouldn't be to add the feature on the Cloudways interface.

    Would definitely like to see this functionality added. Have a client that uses an ftp folder for sharing files with staff, and I cannot protect the application files from general staff because we can't point the ftp user to a specific folder.

    Definitely a useful feature that I am now missing having moved to Cloudways from a previous web host that offered this capability.
