The command "systemsetup -setremotelogin on" is a command for macOS that enables remote login on a computer.
In macOS, the "systemsetup" command is a utility used to change various system settings. The "-setremotelogin" option is used specifically to manage the remote login functionality.
By adding "on" after the "-setremotelogin" option, the command enables remote login. This means that other users can remotely access and control the computer through SSH (Secure Shell), a network protocol that allows secure remote access and management of the computer's command-line interface.
Enabling remote login can be useful for system administrators or users who need to remotely control their macOS computer. However, it is important to ensure that proper security measures, such as strong passwords and firewall settings, are in place to prevent unauthorized access.
