If you have very specific layout requirements, I wouldn't use OpenSSH.
At work we have SFTP servers implemented using Twisted Conch, which lets
us implement our own custom authentication/authorisation arrangements
and our own virtual file system layout.  This works well for us because
we're a Python shop, but I'm sure there are other possibilities too.
