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  amp  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  amp  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
