How do I open port 22 in OS X 10.6.7

I'm using OSX 10.11.6 and this article works for me.

I think your port is probably open, but you don't have anything that listens on it.

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 it, go to ‘System Preferences’. Under ‘Internet & Networking’ there is a ‘Sharing’ icon. Run that. In the list that appears, check the ‘Remote Login’ option. In OS X Yosemite and up, there is no longer an 'Internet & Networking' menu; it was moved to Accounts. The Sharing menu now has its own icon on the main System Preferences menu. (thx @AstroCB)

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 use. You can also find this out using ‘whoami’ and ‘ifconfig’ from the Terminal application.

These instructions are copied from Enable SSH in Mac OS X, but I wanted to make sure they won't go away and to provide quick access.

There are 3 solutions available for these.

1) Enable remote login using below command - sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on

2) In Mac, go to System Preference -> Sharing -> enable Remote Login that's it. 100% working solution

3) Final and most important solution is - Check your private area network connection . Sometime remote login isn't allow inside the local area network.

Kindly try to connect your machine using personal network like mobile network, Hotspot etc.
