So the thing (program) does not write to stdout itself?  It it does '5
or 6' fopen("<random>.log","w")s?  Well, then you need to do:

(mkdir temp && cd temp && thing && tar czvf - . | \
	ssh -q 192.168.122.2 tar xvf -) && rm -rf temp

And yes, the log files will be written to the local disk before being
transfered.  There is not really anyway around this, unless you were
will / able to rewrite 'thing' to work differently.
