Tab completion could help in some cases, when uploading or when 
downloading a newer version of a file that is already on the local 
system. Of course tab completion only works locally, so I'd have to type 
the remote name and tab-complete the local name. That would require that 
I first change the encoding in the terminal emulator to the one used for 
filenames on the remote system - even though I'm not logged into the 
remote system in that terminal window. Even then it doesn't help in some 
cases, for example when the first letter is non-English.

Wildcards can also help in a similar way, if I can produce a unique name 
with wildcards and English letters, but in many cases they don't help 
either. And of course neither helps when transferring a whole directory 
tree with Rsync.
