Re: How do I change my home directory?

Home directory is server-side settings. You cannot change it from WinSCP. However you can instruct WinSCP to use some specific directory as default instead of home directory. See "Directories" tab on login dialog.

Jail might work?

I have the same issue, and was told that Jail would be the program to use, though I haven't gotten it working yet.

Better luck to you!

Jail can be used to force user to stay only in some (usualy home) directory (or its subdirectories). IMHO it is not a usual way to change home directory.
