The first problem is that dreambox images (at least to my knowledge) do not include a ftp client. I guess nobody thought anyone would ever want this, but now with USB 2 port on routers, etc. I think there is a desire to have it.

I suspect it is possible to install a ftp client, or maybe there is a plugin?

With an ftp client available, it should be easy to create a small script to open the ftp client on the USB hdd, but I don't think you will be able to see the drive in the OSD, if that is what you were thinking.

Could be a nice extension for the dmm and image developers to consider, however. Then again, if we had a USB 2 port on the DB we wouldn't need it.
