Tramp.

To login to server from Emacs:

  /ssh:user@host:/etc/  TAB  <-- completion work here, but you prompted for
                                 password if don't setup RSA/DSA keys.

To list file on server:

  /ssh:user@host:/etc/ RET

To open file from server:

  /ssh:user@host:/home/user/.bashrc RET

Also M-x find-dired, rgrep, lgrep, compile - properly work with TRAMP (run
on remote server and show result in your Emacs).

Read manual: C-h i S tramp RET RET
