Yes there is. Been a long time since I actually did this so I'd have to
fiddle it for a bit but here's the basic concept.
You can create a desktop shortcut that opens your filemanager to the
specified location. When you go through the whole Actions > Connect
process it probably adds an icon on the left side of your file manager
for that folder. Could be under something like "network location" on the
left panel where all your shortcuts are. You *might* be able to right
click that and see if you can make it more permanent. Either by dragging
it to your desktop or setting it as a favorite.
Not a feature I use very often since I go NFS/SMB but xfce hasn't
changed much in the past 10 years so it should still be possible.

But before giving up I poked at other things, and finally had success
with Actions > Connect, which popped up a window allowing me to put in
the IP address of the other computer, and log in to it. I now have a
file manager window with everything on the other computer.
Problem solved. Thanks for the tip!
It's still working, but it keeps losing the connection, and then I have
to go back to the beginning and go through all the steps to log in
again. This is annoying.
Is there a way to log in once, and have it remember, so I don't have to
spend five minutes digging the keyboard for the desktop computer out
from under a stack of books and papers, and then enter all the
information over again?
