You misunderstand. In term mode C-c is the key prefix when in the
default character mode. And you can toggle between character mode and
line mode easily with C-c C-j and C-c C-k. When in line mode C-c C-j
then you don't need a prefix. I use term quite a bit.

The problem with eshell and then using ssh within it to log onto a
remote machine is that it is always in line mode.
Try using TRAMP. This is fully documented in the tramp manual.
5.5.4 Running `eshell' on a remote host
---------------------------------------
TRAMP is integrated into `eshell.el'. That is, you can open an
interactive shell on your remote host, and run commands there.
Try this:
M-x eshell
cd /user@remote:
Or just remote if the user is the same:
cd /remote:
I think that will do what you want.
