redirect STDIN to a file on the host where your current SSH session originated. put it in your .bashrc!

back_to_my_laptop.sh

# Example 1:
#  laptop% ssh remotehost
#  remotehost% uptime | laptop remote_uptime
#  remotehost% exit
#  laptop% cat remote_uptime
#   20:41:11 up 9 days,  4:02, 20 users,  load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00
#
# In other words, it's like starting this:
#  laptop% ssh remotehost uptime > remote_uptime
# but from the remote host.
#
function laptop() {
    ssh $(echo $SSH_CLIENT|cut -d' ' -f1) "cat - > $1" < <(cat)
}

remotehost% laptop remote_motd < /etc/motd

This works too!
