SFTP Blob Storage: How can a user access/switch to other containers when connected via SFTP?

Question

We've enabled SFTP via Blob Storage (Public Preview) and granted users access to multiple containers. How can a user access/switch to other containers when connected via SFTP? What I can only access is the container defined in the homedirectory though the user has permission to other containers.

Thanks!

I understand you wish to know how users can access containers other than their home container. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding the issue.

You can only login to a single container per session. If you wish to connect to another container create a session and specify the container name after the storage account as part of the username.

Here is what that will look like using WinSCP:
