Implement Bonjour/DNS-SD for easy service discovery #561

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!! :smile:

@VishalNehra we have a discovery service for SMB servers, but I never saw it work. Is this considered fixed?

Nope, it does return a series of stacktrace at failing something. Although this issue isn't regarding that I think.

That would be issue #488 ?
