i have created a account class

import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class Account
{
	private NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
	
	private final double RATE = 0.035; //interest rate of 3.5%
	
	private int acctNumber;
	private double balance;
	private String name;
	
	//---------------------------------------------------------------
	// Sets up the account by defining its owner, account number, and 
	// balance.
	//---------------------------------------------------------------
	
	public Account (String owner, int account, double initial)
	{
		name = owner;
		acctNumber = account;
		balance = initial;
	}
	//-------------------------------------------------------------------
	// Validates the transaction, then deposits the specified amount into 
	// the account. returns the new balance.
	//-------------------------------------------------------------------
	
	public double deposit (double amount)
	{
		if (amount < 0) //deposit number is negative
		{
			System.out.println();
			System.out.println("Error : Deposit amount is invalid.");
			System.out.println(acctNumber + " " + fmt.format(amount));
		}
		else
		{
			balance = balance + amount;
		}
		return balance;
	}	
		//--------------------------------------------------------------
		//validates the transaction. then withdraws the specified amount
		//from the account. returns the new balance.
		//--------------------------------------------------------------
		
	public double withdraw (double amount, double fee)
	{
		amount += fee;
		if (amount < 0) //withdraw value is negative
		{
			System.out.println();
			System.out.println("Error: Withdraw amount is invalid");
			System.out.println("Account: " + acctNumber);
			System.out.println("Requested: " + fmt.format(amount));
		}
		else
		{
			if (amount > balance) //withdraw value exceeds balance
			{
				System.out.println();
				System.out.println("Error: Insufficient funds.");
				System.out.println("Requested: " + fmt.format(amount));
				System.out.println("Available: " + fmt.format(balance));
			}
			else
			{
				balance = balance - amount;
			}
		}
		return balance;
		
	}
	
	public double transfer (double withdaw, double deposit, int account)
	{
		
	}
	//----------------------------------------------------------------
	// adds interest to the account and returns the new balance.
	//----------------------------------------------------------------
	
	public double addInterest ()

	}
		
		//----------------------------------------------------------------
		// Returns a one-line description of the account as a string
		//----------------------------------------------------------------
	
		
	public String toString ()
	{

	}
	
	
}

You need to add a method (call it transferFunds or whatever), it will accept a parameter of type account (forget what you called your main class). Then after that you can refer to the one you called the method from with the key word "this" and then use the one you passed as a parameter as the other one you transfer to or from. And then you just put your coding in the method.

You can also code it as a static method and have it pass two paramaters of type account (transferFunds(a1, a2)) and then use those variable names to do the code. There's many ways to do it.

Sorry for the half -sorted explanation, I'm about to go to bed. If you need more help I can help you maybe tomorrow or someone else can do it.
