In principle you can use Tramp and Ange-FTP to use eshell on remote
directories -- just cd into the right directory, instead of invoking
ssh directly.  With the most recent version of Tramp, for example:

    cd /ssh:user@host:/some/directory
    some_command

Hm.  But it's not working right.  Darn.  Gotta fix Tramp...
