I use an iMac and a MacBook in my local network. I want to access the iMac's hard disk from the MacBook via the Finder's File Sharing.
On both the Macs, I have a user account with the same name and password. Both accounts have local administrator rights.
If I connect from the MacBook to the iMac using with the Finder, I can only see and access the Home directory of the user on the iMac whose credentials I entered. I cannot see or access other directories like /Applications/.
How can I access all contents of the iMac's hard drive?

The system folders are not shared over the network by default. Go to System Preferences app → Sharing and enable File Sharing.
Now under Shared Folders, click on the
+button and add the desired folders.
