I understand that chrooting a user will keep them confined... my 
question was whether chrooting the ssh executable would confine them. If 
I understood the previous post correctly, it was suggesting that I put 
sshd in a chroot jail and that this is a separate action from trapping a 
user in a chroot. Have I gotten this wrong?

Chrooting ssh, as with chrooting apache or an ftp server, would have 
obvious benefits, but I would still have to set up chroot jails for any 
login users, right?

I'm actually liking the webDAV idea at this point... though I'm assuming 
that's not encrypted. Anyone know for sure?
