I have always found Nautilus (or GVFS) to be dog slow, regardless of 
internet speed.

Filezilla isn't exactly the best of software but I can't think of any 
good alternative GUI based apps. I would use SCP or rsync. rsync might 
not be a good solution for the netbook.

E.g.

scp -P 22 ~/dir/files/* user at remote:/dir/wherever
