The Apple Mac OS X operating system has SSH installed by default but the SSH daemon is not enabled. This means you can’t login remotely or do remote copies until you enable it.
To enable SSH Access on your mac do the following:
1. Open the 'System Preferences' Tool
2. Open the 'Sharing' preferences tool which can be seen under the‘Internet & Networking’ header
3. Select the checkbox next to 'Remote Login'In the list that appears, check the ‘Remote Login’ option.
This starts the SSH daemon immediately and you can remotely login using your username. The ‘Sharing’ window shows, at the bottom, the name and IP address to user. From the Shell you can determine your username using 'whoami' and you can confirm your IP Address with the 'ifconfig' tool.
