Python: Save output files on another computer through ssh

I want to save output files (binary, matplotlib, etc.) of a Python program in a different computer over ssh. So far, I have saved files in the same computer that runs the program and to do that I have a line in my Python code filename = '/OutputFiles/myOutput.txt'. How do I change this line so that I can save the output in a different computer through ssh? It can be assumed that the ssh login password for the remote computer is in my keyring.

(New answer because OP specified they wanted to write multiple files)

You want to look into the paramiko module. It might look something like this:

import paramiko
connection = paramiko.SSHClient()
connection.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
connection.connect(10.10.10.10, username=myuser, password=mypass)
ftp = connection.open_sftp()

for i in range(10):
  results = do_stuff()
  f = ftp.open(i+'.txt', 'w+')
  f.write(results)
  f.close()

ftp.close()
connection.close()

The easiest way to do this would be to write your output to standard out and pipe it to ssh (assuming you're on a Mac, Linux, or other *nix-based machine). For example:

python myProgram | ssh user@host 'cat > outfile.txt'
