  <p>for this to work the home directory of the user has to be root owned.
  How can can enable this so the user can delete and upload files to this area when sftp'd in?  I've tried keeping the owner of the home folder as root:root and changed all the permissions to files below to user:sftp but that doesnt work.  </p>
