How to add users remotely?

Wondering how to add a user remotely via the terminal access. The unix adduser and useradd does not work..

Any suggestions?

Thanks

thanks for the response.. So Basically there is no way to add a user remotely if you have not placed the script on the server previously??

One more thing.. the new user I added was able to browse the whole server.. would I be able to set permissions for the new user remotely too?

I basically wanted to create an account for a user to have access to shell on the mac so they could have minimal "poking around" privilage and be limited to their own home directory.

If they have shell access, they would need to see more than their home, otherwise things like ls, man, etc, wouldn't work...at that point, why have shell access?
