You have the ful power of emacs in dired. Just use C-s or C-r ...

Bookmark-set (usually bound to C-x r m) also work on directories. Just
press that combp when you in the dir you want to bookmark. YOu can jump
back to it with C-x r b.

Tramp, that come with cvs emacs and is downloadable on
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/tramp works also great with dired.
