Remote Screen Sharing is enhanced in this summer's release of OS X Mountain Lion, adding support for drag and drop file transfers between the viewer and the remote desktop and enhancing support for virtual displays.
Screen Sharing, a remote access feature Apple first added to OS X 10.5 Leopard to enable viewing or controlling another Mac's desktop, is gaining a feature from Apple Remote Desktop: the ability to drag files from the local desktop into a remote session.
After connecting to a remote host, the local user can now drag files to the desktop, or target a specific app, invoking Exposé to, for example, drag an image file to a Pages document, select the window of the desired document, and place the graphic in the document.

Enable AirDrop Over Ethernet & AirDrop On Unsupported Macs Running OS X 10.7
AirDrop is the extremely easy local peer-to-peer file transfer tool that is built into Mac OS X 10.7, it allows you to easily send and receive files wirelessly over a network just by dragging and dropping. It’s a great addition in Lion, but it’s not supported on all Macs.
You can enable AirDrop support on unsupported Macs running OS X 10.7+ by using the following defaults write command in the Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
Paste that in and hit enter. You’ll need to then kill the Finder with ‘killall Finder’ or reboot the Mac for changes to take effect.
What’s really interesting is that this enables AirDrop over both Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet connections, which basically means any machine running Lion can use it whether or not it has a wireless card. As long as it’s connected to the same network you will be able to see the Mac in the AirDrop list of another Mac running 10.7.
If you ever want to disable this for some reason, you can just use this code.
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 0
Enjoy........
