Accessing multiple containers in SFTP server

We're using the SFTP support in Azure Blob Storage Preview and I haven't been able to work out how to access multiple containers using the same user.
It seems to be possible to allow a user to have permissions for multiple containers in the UI but I am only able to log in via SFTP after I have set a Home Directory which is tied to a specific container.

I was expecting that I would be able to cd to / once I have SFTP'd in and see the various containers which I have permission to but it looks like / has been set to the Home Directory. Any ideas?

    Figured it out, the answer is in this section of the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/secure-file-transfer-protocol-support#home-directory

       sftp myaccount.<container name>.myusername@myaccount.blob.core.windows.net
