Cannot change sharing preferences on iMac hard drive, or connect to it from a MacBook

I have an iMac (2013) and a MacBook (12", 2015) each running Mojave 10.14.6.

I want to be able to mount the iMac hard drive over my home network on my macbook. At the moment i can screen share with the iMac, bit it will not connect to the iMac - simply says connection failed.

When i looked at the iMac sharing permissions for the hard drive - the system has read and write, and everyone else read only. I tried changing the permissions to allow 'wheel' to read and write- it doesn't allow it and says 'you do not have permission..) - I've tried changing the permissions in 'sharing' - doesn't work,

Can anyone help?
