Set sFTP home directory to specific path

I've dug high and low and have yet to find a way to do this.

I want to set a specific home directory when a account connects to my OS X 10.6 machine that's not that users home directory.

Coming from the world of Windows, this is a very easy thing to set. In IIS you just set your default/home directory and that's the path you're in when you connect via FTP.

If even possible, how can this be accomplished?

As a bonus question, is there a way to enable directory browsing from a web browser like you can with IIS also?

It's nice to be able to view my directories via a web browser at times just to look up something or quickly just download a single file. I've yet to find a way to accomplish this in OS X also.
 
AFAIK in order to change the SSH/SFTP home directory you need to change that user's home directory. If this is just for you, you could just put a symlink in your home directory pointing to the target you want.

SFTP isn't related to FTP in any way other than the use of a similar acronym so comparing the two isn't really valid. If you want to browse your files via a web browser then you need to use a protocol that your browser understands, i.e. HTTP or FTP which means another
daemon like Apache or vsftp.
