I will be amazing if you add this feature to ftp express. It's a "killer" feature.

Use case :
1) I came to my friend flat, and connect to his Wi-Fi private lan
2) ftp express finds all the ftp, sftp, samba shares (for expmple after putting some new button "scanning network" ) using zeroconf.
3)then ftp express adds new sites to site list (it might be better to mark them with some color). These sites have some default configurations (e.g. login - anonymous for ftp-site ... so on. )
4) profit

Benefits :
- user can find all necessary sites in one moment.
- no need to know the ip-adress of the ftp,... sites
- mdns adds some additional flexibility in configuring/working with sites.

Please share your thoughts regarding it.

I like the idea but would need to bump the minimum API level to use NsdManager. So this may probably be added at the earliest in 3.0.
