Ubuntu : update openssh from 4.7 to a newer version

sshUbuntu

I have a server running on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

This version provides openssh 4.7.

I need to have a chroot environment for sftp.

I read chroot was possible with at least openssh 4.9.

So, how do I update easily to a newer version of openssh?

I specify its a remote server. So i can take the risk to damage the ssh server.

The quick answer to this is: Upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu. According to the online Ubuntu packages database, the version of openssh-server you need is in the Jaunty and later releases.
