What kind of operations are you trying to do?  There are a lot of 
options, including using freenx and the free NX client to get good GUI 
performance through a remote ssh connection.  Or, use the command line 
tools that cover 100% of file management functionality and are 
faster/easier if you use some conventions when creating files and use 
names that will match wildcards or put things under directories that can 
be manipulated in one step.
