I have remote access enabled on my WHS box - but with username/password and a two-factor hardware key generator.

I just block everything but leave sshd running on my Tomato router. Passwords disabled; keypair authentication required.

While a great product, it does NOT address the OPs question.
The OP will need to connect to his home network then remote desktop to a computer on it to access his NAS.
The simplest way to do this is via Logmein or TeamViewer or even VNC.
Other options are FTP and the above mentioned vpn/rdc.

I think you can also plug a USB drive into the Synology NAS too.

Seller sent it two day mail. Amazingly easy to set up. I thank you again, Scott!
Playing with the iPhone app; I need to bone up, though, on what kind of videos the iPhone won't play.

They sent out an e-mail right away with the license code and installation instructions.

which
I had a Pogoplug device and found it far too frustrating -- it was accessible only with special driver software. A good (and simple) option is Tonido (www.tonido.com). It's free, and allows web-based access to any drives reachable on the machine that's running it (I have it on my file server at home). It creates what is, essentially, a private cloud. It also works with software like Net Drive, that permits mapping directly to home drives from any machine anywhere. I use it so that my writing partner can access large audio files that are too big to email and that I don't trust to commercial cloud services.

Tonido also makes the data available via a web interface, requiring no client or driver.
