SSH Works on Big Sur ?

I cannot connect to my MacMini M1 (11.6.2) with SSH from a tablet in the same network.

The connection with an old MacPro (10.12) however works perfectly.

Yes, SSH worked for me with Big Sur. You need to check a couple places to make sure it is enabled. First, turn on the "Remote Login" feature in the Sharing page in System Preferences. After that, make sure the Firewall configuration allows incoming connections to that feature. That's under Security & Privacy -> Firewall. Then you'd need to configure the authorized_keys file under the ~/.ssh directory. That file probably needs to have the permissions 0600 to be used.

Unless a user has done some sort of custom SSH configuration, there's no need to change anything with permissions on the authorized_keys file. SSH just works once Remote Login has been enabled in System Preferences, even in Monterey.
