I need help. All I want to do i see n900 files COMPLETELY. I ran sudo command. I installed Openssh client & server and ran command: ssh root@localhost. I gave it my password. Now what? I just want to change the boot screen! I'm running windows 7 on my main computer.

emelfm2 I think might allow you to browse everything..
Will show you everything in the current directory. If you cd to root (cd /) and run that you'll see all root level directories...
I guess I'm confused at what you are trying to accomplish?
Code:
ls -al

if you connect from your computer using something like filezilla it will show you all your files. or use emelfm2 from device like fatalsaint said.
Moved from design to Maemo5 section.

Why can we not just see the files in the file manager? No different from Android or WM in this regard, or a Windows computer for that matter. The argument that people could screw things up could be extended to those OS's as well. Seems ironic a device designed to be free and open is the most awkward to access files in of any OS I have used.
Sure, in Windows you have to activate the viewing option and Android you have to get an app like Astro file manager. Point is you can access the directories while using the device and edit, move, copy etc. without command lines.
Something as simple as changing some Doom wad file names is an example. I should be able to view them in file manager and be able to change the names or delete them. Having to run command lines in terminal for everything seems a tad primitive and if anything, invites more potential for error.

What's wrong with sudo gainroot and mc? Or just mc?

As I said before.. if you install emelfm2 you should be able to see everything... this is no different than android. Except that it's actually possible to launch emelfm2 as root, and thus be able to actually *do* something with your files in this case...

To be able to access them over USB would mean you could no longer use the device while being connected.

Indeed. You need to copy what you need to mass storage (copy boot video to the device root - "Nokia N900"), then disconnect USB and use an internal manager or the command line to copy stuff over. Or use MC, it's way more user friendly than cp.
