There are Gambas file and directory functions that can be substituted for cp, rm, ls, mv [https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/cat/file]. 
You might be able to create your own 'find' function using RDir and others. For 'cat', you read and write using streams.

For md5sum, there is the gb.hash component. There is also gb.compress though I don't think it handles tar files.

I don't know of any Gambas equivalent for scp or ssh.
