I didn't say he needed a login session. I said he needed a login
*account*, i.e. a passwd entry that assigns him a UID. Unless of course
the server allows unauthenticated connections, but nothing in the OP's
description implies that (or even that the server is running sshd at
all).

If this were a conversation with the server admin, no doubt you'd be
right, but given that it's a conversation with a user who's access to
the server is completely unknown, the answer must remain a mystery.
