  Not directly; when you're logged in with ssh, it's pretty much the same as
if you were sat at the keyboard using a bash shell.  The way to restrict
access to the other drives would be to create a new user account, only give
ssh access to that user account, and use the NTFS perms to block that user
from everywhere except the areas you want.
