Bet you already considered this:
 $ sftp host1:dev/home/directory
 $ sftp host1:ga/home/directory
 $ sftp host:prod/home/directory

If the userid is shared, nothing will stop them from using cd to move
around.  I'd just script it.

OTOH, if the userids are different, then the HOME for that userid is the
default directory and you can set those to whatever you need, if the
repercussions for other things (like logins) isn't too bad.  You can
make different usernames map to a single userid.

Don't forget the -b option. Can be very helpful.

Don't really understand the question, but I'm slow that way.
