Good FTP client for iOS7 ?

I'm running a ReadyNAS Pro at home, and have several iOS devices. I have the ReadyNAS Remote App on my iPad, and would like to use it to pull down documents, movies, etc. that can't be played in iTunes while I am on the road (WMVs, MKVs, etc.). However, since the ReadyNAS app doesn't play these files, and won't let me open them in an external app (such as VLC), I am stuck.

Can anyone recommend a good FTP app for iOS, that will work with the ReadyNAS, and also play media files in an external media app? I have tried a majority of the free FTP clients, and most of them are... lacking.

Alternatively, how do I submit feedback on the ReadyNAS iOS app? I'd love to see it be able to open files in an external app on the phone, such as VLC. (It's also stopped working since iOS7 came out, but that's a different issue.)

Thank you!

    avplayerhd is a pretty good player that has built-in ftp support.

    goodreader also supports ftp, and it does support "open with" - allowing you (for example) to download a PDF and open it in the Kindle app.
