If you are using bash you might try using the auto completion option.
Tab completion could help in some cases, when uploading or when downloading a newer version of a file that is already on the local system. Of course tab completion only works locally, so I'd have to type the remote name and tab-complete the local name. That would require that I first change the encoding in the terminal emulator to the one used for filenames on the remote system - even though I'm not logged into the remote system in that terminal window. Even then it doesn't help in some cases, for example when the first letter is non-English.
Wildcards can also help in a similar way, if I can produce a unique name with wildcards and English letters, but in many cases they don't help either. And of course neither helps when transferring a whole directory tree with Rsync.
