How to access target user's Library with Mac OS X file sharing

The problem

Sharing files from Mac to Mac (both on Mac OS X El Capitan) on the same local network, I cannot see a target user's Library (as opposed to his other directories). 

The solution

For the target user,  ~/Library is accessible, with the same permissions as other directories, but appears greyed out.

Let the target user do:  in Finder, View > Show View Options, check Show Library Folder.

Remark

No problem with nfs server on target Mac.
