Use SSH with X forwarding: ssh -X user@host. See the man page ("man ssh") for more info. You'll still get the shell, but you'll be able to type "nautilus" and the window will appear on your machine.

If you can't login on the remote machine using FTP, it's probably due to either of the following 2 reasons:
-intervening firewalls (ie no FTP access allowed on the remote machine),
-no FTP server on the remote machine (so no program to accept your connection request)

There's probably not much you can do about that, unless you have control over the remote machine/the network.

But if you ssh access, you could try the sftp alternative.
It's much like regular FTP, but it's done over an encrypted connection (like ssh login).
Similarly, there's also "scp", which does "cp" over an encrypted connection. It too requires SSH access, which
you already seem to have...

Can you explain what you mean in a bit more detail, as I don't understand. You can run Nautilus, so why can't you run other programs the same way?

if you need a remote "desktop", you can also look into VNC or NX

You can login completely remotely, with a X display, using XDMCP on your login screen (alt+R). Of course, there has to be an XDMCP server running on the other machine.
