In eshell you can do

cd /ssh:somemachine:
df

and it will call 'df' remotely. This of course involves some serious
trickery with redirecting stdout to files and transferring them, and
even with a shared ssh connection this is way slower than using a
terminal directly. Still, it's pretty impressive and something I use
regularly.
