Do I use firewire 800 male to male?

If both iMacs possess FireWire 800 ports, yes. :)

Are you trying to fileshare? If so, just connect the Macs to your network (WiFi or ethernet cable) and turn on File Sharing.

Or if you don't have a network, run an ethernet cable between the two Macs, give each Mac a different IP address and turn on File Sharing.
