Description

AWS Transfer Family has an option to restrict a user to their home directory.

For Restricted, select the check box so that your users can't access anything outside of that folder and can't see the Amazon S3 bucket or folder name.

Looking at the AWS CLI and Go SDK docs, there is a home directory type parameter which can be set to PATH or LOGICAL. I believe the provider currently uses PATH whereas the Restricted check box uses LOGICAL and uses the home directory mapping parameter to restrict the access.

Here is the output from the AWS CLI:

aws transfer describe-user --server-id <REDACTED> --user-name cparmar
{
    "ServerId": "<REDACTED>",
    "User": {
        "Arn": "arn:aws:transfer:eu-west-1:<REDACTED>:user/<REDACTED>/cparmar",
        "HomeDirectoryMappings": [
            {
                "Entry": "/",
                "Target": "/<BUCKET NAME>/cparmar"
            }
        ],
        "HomeDirectoryType": "LOGICAL",
        "Role": "arn:aws:iam::<REDACTED>:role/transfer_service-user",
        "SshPublicKeys": [
            {
                "DateImported": "2020-06-17T12:38:40.485000+01:00",
                "SshPublicKeyBody": "<REDACTED>",
                "SshPublicKeyId": "<REDACTED>"
            }
        ],
        "Tags": [],
        "UserName": "cparmar"
    }
}

Support for the restricted check box using the terraform AWS provider.
