Turning Remote Login on or off requires Full Disk Access privileges.

I tried to do "sudo systemsetup -f -setremotelogin on" and got:

setremotelogin: Turning Remote Login on or off requires Full Disk Access privileges.


I googled this and found no information. There has been a previous post about this here, but it is in Chinese.


What can I do?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

It is the same thing, and it may be that you are correct in that the message is superfluous. There may be no way for it to know that it is set or not. Apple seems to be trying to isolate every process from everything else.

I've tried allowing full disk access via security and privacy settings, but this did not solve my problem unfortunately.


I already have Remote Login on in the system preferences. Is this perhaps the same exact thing as having remote login set on via the command line? In that case, I think the error message is just misleading and should be replaced with "remote login is already on".
