Make sure you are a member of group 'wheel', connect as yourself, then su to root. Allowing root to connect directly from outside is often considered to be a security risk. Alternatively, install ssh (from the ports collection), and you will get yourself a nice secure encrypted connection that you can do whatever you like with.
