Use a reverse port forward via ssh.

  ssh -R 127.0.0.1:2210:127.0.0.1:22 user@somemachine

Of course you could instead add it to your ssh config along with agent forwarding.

Just for other people arriving from Google who might think this is too much work, it seems to be enough for my use case to just type

    ssh user@host "cat foo.txt" | pbcopy

from my Mac terminal.

This is what I was hinting at with:

Reverse port forwarding is exactly what I do. You can make it automatic for certain hosts using ssh_config.
