You could look at rssh which can restrict logins to just sftp and I 
believe allows chrooting.  Of course, with such a shell you can't then 
log in to Unix normally.  Proftpd will let you configure just about 
everything and can limit cd, for example, and might do what's required.  
Configuration is pretty mind-boggling, though, and always leaves me with 
the nagging doubt that I didn't get everything right, so testing always 
takes longer too :-(  I'm not sure I'd recommend it unless it did really 
did have a feature that was required.
