title: Is it possible / how can I create a local copy of a live remote log file for watching / tailing?
body: <p>Scenario:
  I can watch logs on the remote Unix machine using ssh and tail but I cannot install software. I want to use something like multitail or other log viewer which is not available on the remote machine to watch the log files. Of course, if I could find a way to create live local copies of the logs as they are being written, I can use what ever software I want on the local machine. </p>
  
  <p>Question:
  Would it be possible to do something like re-direct the output of the ssh client to a file for this purpose or is there another way to accomplish this goal?</p>
