I have scouted over many websites and forums on how to setup an SFTP user that is jailed to a certain directory using CHROOT. Here are the steps I have followed but I can't seem to get write permissions to work.
Setup
sshd_config
Create Folder
Create User and Group
Permissions and Ownership
Now with these settings the user uploader is able to SFTP into the home directory but is unable to write to the directory.
There are 2 typical errors that occur, I either can't login or I don't have write permissions.
Login Error
I am at odds end trying to figure this out and if anyone could point me into the right direction I would be greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Found out the solution. The user is jailed to /var/www/sites. I then created another folder /var/www/sites/site1.
I use:
This enabled the home directory to have the correct permissions to login and then be able to write to the next folder up.
If the user needs write access to /var/www/sites, then you must jail the user at /var/www which has root:root ownership and permissions of 755. You then need to give /var/www/sites ownership of root:(your group) and permissions of 775.
Maybe the greatest solution is:
...
Add the users:
Then, for each user you have created, add an ssh tag like this:(you could also use the 'Match Group' directive as in your example instead of 'Match User')
So you can manage all users you need in a chrooted environment.
