The easiest way would be to start the process from your ssh session.

If you want to keep tabs on an already running process, you should start
the process in such a way that it redirects the standard output and
standard error streams to a file. How that's done depends on the shell
you're using. You can then watch that file via ssh with 'tail -f'.
