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.
