Before opening a sharing session, the remote computer must have Screen Sharing enabled. You can enable Screen Sharing in the System Preferences by choosing Sharing and then checking the "Screen Sharing" box. The remote computer can specify login and access permissions.
To connect to a screen sharing computer for the first time, you can either 1) open the Screen Sharing application (located in /System/Library/CoreServices/), or 2) select in the Finder and then type vnc://ipaddress/, where "ipaddress" is the IP address of the remote computer with sharing turned on. VNC is the protocol used for remote desktop control.
NOTE: Apple Screen Sharing is not available in macOS.
