This is straight windows stuff - there is nothing special needed.
From Windows Explorer
map network drive (on toolbar)
Select drive letter
enter \\nasname\sharename
optional: select connect with different credentials, and enter the username/password you have configured on the NAS.
To map the entire data volume, enter
\\nasname\volumename
connect with NAS admin account credentials.
Default volume name for OS6 systems is "data", for older ReadyNAS it is "C"

I'm not sure I understand you. I was assuming you were wanting to access the NAS on your local LAN.
Are you really asking about how to access the NAS over the internet without ReadyCloud?
If so, there are two basic methods.
(a) use FTPS (which is encrypted). This requires setting up a small passive port range in the NAS (say 54321:54325) and forwarding port 21 and the passive ports to the NAS in your router. Reserving the IP address of the NAS is a good idea. You also need a DDNS account (for instance noip.com), and get a ddns name for your router. Then you can reach the NAS using FTPS over the internet (using the ddns name). Some FTP clients require masquerading to be turned on. I use FileZilla, which doesn't.
(b)Use a router that supports OpenVPN, and install an OpenVPN client on your devices. That also needs a DDNS account. The VPN connects directly to your router - no other servers are involved. It gives you full access to your home network (printers, pcs, etc).

Thx for explanacion.
I think if I could connect over internet with filezilla I can also map the share as webdrive.
I am able to conect to the drive:
Hostname: Ip adress from readynas remote
User anonymus
Pw ???
Filzilla says passwort problem.
I think I have wrong ftp setup on readynas.
