How can you connect to the remote server - ssh or telnet? or only ftp/sftp?

With what account?
Since you are willing to use tail -f , that means you have to have a terminal open (xterm or ...) so I dont see where you see any issue:
You have the choice of login, remsh, etc...

If you have ssh enabled account on remote machine you can try
ssh account@host tail -f /path/file

IN the past the OP has had a long list of restrictions, that's why I asked.
