Calendars are databases full of rich information which isn't quite the
same as Word documents, and you need to take that into account. If you
want to share your calendar with another iCal user thgouth simple file
sharing and copying, then you can Export the calendar (look for Export
in the File menu), copy the exported file to another computer, and
import it there (File menu again).

Manual file copies for sharing seems so laborious, clunky, and 1990s to
me. I don't get why anyone would actively avoid having their calendar
(and contacts, photos, music, bookmarks, etc) automatically shared on
all of your devices without you having to lift a finger. That's what you
get by default with the latest Apple operating systems.
