If you want to enable SSH for only one user using the command line on a Mac, run these three commands:
Make sure the group exists
sudo /usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o create -q com.apple.access_ssh
Add user username to the group
sudo /usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o edit -a username -t user com.apple.access_ssh
Turn remote login on
sudo /usr/sbin/systemsetup -setremotelogin on
