I believe that's called Mac OS X 10.7 Help- Use Back to My Mac

iCloud- Setting up and using Back to My Mac with an 802.11n-based AirPort base station, or Time Capsule

Using and troubleshooting Back to My Mac with your iCloud account on OS X Lion

Setting up and using Back to My Mac with an 802.11n-based AirPort base station, or Time Capsule

No, it's not Back to my Mac. He's talking about accessing the disk on his Time Capsule over WAN. It's different. Back to My Mac is basically remote desktop access to the Mac through the Time Capsule. I would tell you how but I'm trying to figure that out myself.

BTMM will also give you access to the files on the TC.. The last reference Kappy gave has info on that.

Clearly states you can do it.

Requirements for using Time Capsule or an 802.11n-based AirPort base station with Back to My Mac and the iCloud service

Time Capsule, AirPort Express (802.11n), or AirPort Extreme (802.11n)
A compatible, external USB hard drive* connected to AirPort Extreme (802.11n) for remote file access. (An external USB drive may optionally be used with Time Capsule for additional storage.)

I believe you will find the setup difficult unless the TC is the main router to the network.. although it doesn't state that.
