you better look at the logging messages when you try to log in for ssh
or sftp. (you did enable logging inside the jail?)

that will probably tell you why it is not working.

grep jk_ /var/log/* will tell yu which log files have logging from jailkit

to copy a file you need write access to the directory. `ls -al` will
give you the directory permissions. Since all of the files are not group
writable, I guess the directory is also not group writable.

chgrp -R tecq /path/to/home/dir
chmod -R g+w /path/to/home/dir
