Now don’t get too excited, because this functionality is very limited. If you have Screen Sharing switched on, you can view the desktop of another Mac inside a window of your current Mac. Nothing new there. But what is interesting is that you can drag web location files - the ones with a .webloc suffix, which will open in your default browser - from one Mac desktop to the other.
So if there’s a Camino window open on my office Mac, and I want to get to it from my laptop in the kitchen, I can drag it straight from the remote Camino window and on to the laptop Finder.
What’s odd, though, is that this only seems to work with .webloc files. I’ve tried it with .rtf, .pdf, .txt and .doc as well, and no dice. Still, in the event that you need to access a URL on one of your other networked Macs, it might come in handy.
