Description

Hi!!
I think that a really interesting feature to add to Amaze File Manager is the easy discovery when the ftp server is on. It's really useful, you only have to start the toggle and your phone will appear under Network tab in your PC's file managers. There are two apps which already have this option:

FTP Server :
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=ftp&fdid=be.ppareit.swiftp_free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.swiftp

Primitive FTPd
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=ftp&fdid=org.primftpd
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.primftpd

Both are open source, so I think that it couldn't be too much difficult to port it to Amaze. Also, it could be offered as a “premium feature” to do more appealing the paid plugin.

Regards!! 😄

Research direction

Start by locating the FTP server toggle and the Android networking entry points that control its availability. Review how the Network tab discovers services and compare the referenced FTP Server and Primitive FTPd implementations. Done means an enabled FTP server is discoverable through Bonjour/DNS-SD in desktop file managers.
