Point SSH / SFTP to specific folder
Is there a way to instruct an SSH server to point to a specific folder when a client connects using a file manager such as Nautilus, Caja, or Nemo, instead of pointing to root '/'? For instance point to the folder /mnt/sdb1/files. Would the below folder become inaccessible to the connecting client?

In other words, changing the $HOME directory for a user?
