At present days most of the routers allow to attach USB data storage to it providing data access to heterogeneous clients. This phenomenon is termed as NAS(Network-attached storage). So, you might achieve your goals using this router feature. First you try to pull and add files to your USB device from LAN side.
Next make sure that you are allowed to access the network from WAN side(by default firwall blocks any access through WAN side).
One more thing, you may add more than one external harddrive to the USB using USB-hub.
Hey guys I'm kind of a noob to all this. I installed tomato with usb and want to be able to attach my 2TB Seagate externa hard drive to it and make it a server, that I can read and write to. I don't want to be unplugging my external and plugging it back and forth to my laptop, and then my WD live TV Plus. Also I want to be able to access my external remotely from the internet antwhere and either add files or pull files from it. Sorry if this question has already been answered, but like I said I'm a noob with a little bit of experience. Also I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop. Thanks you guys for the help in advance. Oh yeah if this is possible, can you add more then one external hardive to the usb and do the same thing that I want to do.
