I assume you have sshd installed, configured and running on your iBook 
(mine was installed in the default setup). There are two methods: [1] 
from the iMac (Mac OS X), open Terminal.app and type "ssh 
username@IPaddress" (yuck -- commandline), or [2] go get Fugu:

Fugu is a free Mac OS X frontend for SFTP, SCP and SSH. I recommend it 
highly. (Fugu rubripes is the scientific name for the Japanese 
pufferfish, known for its tasty -- and dangerous -- sushi, its small 
genome size that has made it a sweetheart for molecular biologists, and 
as the mascot of the SSH project.)

Best wishes,
Clint
