Hello.

I have this setup in sshd_config:

AllowUsers test1 test2

Match group sftpgroup
         ChrootDirectory /var/www
         X11Forwarding no
         AllowTcpForwarding no
         ForceCommand internal-sftp

Match user test2
         ChrootDirectory /var/www/somedomain.dk
         X11Forwarding no
         AllowTcpForwarding no
         ForceCommand internal-sftp

I am trying to restrict test2 to only use /var/www/somedomain.dk

For some reason when I try to login e.g. with Filezilla on account test2 I get this error: "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"

The users are created and works. the SSH service has been stopped and started. test1 works when using e.g. filezilla and the root of the connection is /var/www. What am I doing wrong?
