Description
Many public WiFi networks block P2P filesharing, FTP is still possible using the phone's hotspot feature. However this is not very accessible to casual users as the app defaults to displaying the wlan0 IP address which is often the public network.
Proposal: give users an option to limit sharing only to certain networks and display the IP addresses of both public and hotspot networks.

Research direction
Start at the network-sharing entry point that selects the wlan0 address and inspect how the phone hotspot interface is detected. Add a way to limit sharing to selected networks and show both public and hotspot IP addresses; done means hotspot-only sharing is selectable and the displayed addresses distinguish both networks.
