That can be via a network connection (WiFi or Ethernet), a Firewire cable (assuming both Macs support Firewire), a Thunderbolt cable (assuming both Macs support Thunderbolt).
With respect to a network connection, Ethernet cable will be faster than WiFi. It is even possible to directly connect each Mac to each other via a single Ethernet cable.
