On the Mac you're sharing FROM, go to System Preferences>Sharing and check the box next to "File Sharing". On the Mac you're sharing TO, go the Finder>Go>Connect to Server... and if the Mac you're sharing from isn't shown, click the "Browse" button and select that Mac. If it's not shown in Browse, use either the EXACT name of the Mac (normally "~user's Computer") which is shown in the Sharing System Preference; OR the DHCP address of the Mac shown in Network System Preferences preceded by "afp://" (ex. if your DHCP was 192.168.0.199 you'd use afp://192.168.0.199). After you connect you'll be asked for a ~user name and password. Since you own all these you shouldn't need to setup special sharing accounts, just use the name and password for any account on the FROM Mac and if it's an admin account you should have access to the entire HD.
