Use your escape key, but don't hold it down.  For example, to scroll
back up a screen, hit Esc, then "v".

BTW  I reccomend running emacs locally (x window version), and using
ange-ftp to open your files.  To use it, hit C-x C-f to open a file
as usual, and then type:

/username@remote.machine:/path/file.you.want.

It will ask you for a password (once), and then when you save, revert,
etc. it's all done transparently by ftp.  It's also quick and responsive
because it's running locally.  Hope that helps!
