Unfortunately, I haven’t recorded the author of this script which isn’t mine, but I suspect you can modify it to suit your requirement:

on script_version()
	return "1.0"
end script_version

on script_description()
	return "Shuts off file sharing when location is not 'Home'."
end script_description

on prediction(|type|, prediction)
	if |type| is equal to "Location" then
		tell application "System Preferences"
			activate
			set current pane to pane "com.apple.preferences.sharing"
		end tell
		
		tell application "System Events"
			tell process "System Preferences"
				set theRow to item 1 of (rows of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of window "Sharing" whose value of static text 1 is "Web Sharing")
				
				if (value of checkbox 1 of theRow) is equal to 0 and prediction is equal to "Home" then
					click checkbox 1 of theRow
				else if (value of checkbox 1 of theRow) is equal to 1 and prediction is not equal to "Home" then
					click checkbox 1 of theRow
				end if
			end tell
		end tell
		
		tell application "System Preferences"
			quit
		end tell
	end if
end prediction

prediction("Location", "Argo")

or via launchd

remoteLogin("load") -- enable

remoteLogin("unload") -- disable

on remoteLogin(value)
	do shell script "launchctl " & value & " -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist" with administrator privileges
end remoteLogin
