Enable SSH On Mac OSX From The Desktop GUI
While messing around with a client’s laptop this afternoon I needed to enable SSH and decided to not only do it via the CLI but locate the method to do it via the Mac OSX Desktop as well. Enabling SSH via the OSX GUI can be done via the Sharing sub section of System Preferences by checking one box. Below is information on how to launch OSX System Preferences, navigate to enabling services in Sharing, and then enabling SSH.
