Hi, I don't believe that you'll see network users unless your iMac is bound to a network server. So, what you really want to do is to connect to the iMac from the MacBook using a user on the iMac. So, when sitting at the MacBook, you connect to server, with the name or IP of the iMac, then you enter the user credentials for an iMac user who has access to that folder. For example, if the folder is on the Desktop of the Bob user on the iMac, then log in as Bob when entering credentials from the MacBook. You're not using the user information from the MacBook to log into the iMac, you should be using the user information from the iMac to log into the iMac.
I hope that this makes sense. Later....

I have set up a folder on the iMac which I want to share with the MacBook. In the iMac’s sharing preferences file sharing is enabled and the desired folder is in the list of shared folders. Following the help info I want to add the user of the MacBook as an authorised user to Access this shared folder. The help Tells me that I should see a list of network users from which I can select the desired user. Alas I cannot see any option to Choose a network user. I can see Options to choose a different user on the iMac to share the folder. I have connected the MacBook to the iMac using the connect to server in the finder go menu. The MacBook can see the iMac under the Network option of the finder go menu but cannot see any folder on the iMac. The help for sharing files rather confusingly says do a Control + Click on the shared folder to choose advanced sharing options. I am not sure whether I need to do this and if I do how does one do a Control +Click using VO? Many thanks for any tips.
