Can I use RB951G-2HnD like ftp server with USB storage?
I start the ftp server, I connect to the server, but I see only internal memory. Can I access connected USB storage?

Technically you can. But the speed and configuration options are very limited. It is intended for management purposes and not as ftpserver. So don't complain, I have warned you.

A good advice
Buy a nas and use it as an ftp server.
The performance will be much better.
Mikrotik devices are not suitable for this.
Mikrotik are routers and switches not ftp-servers

Hello,
So what is the effect of your attempt to set up ftp server finally?

It is working... may be not so good. When I wrote the post I started for the test. There was problem with NTFS format (or FAT32 I don't remember), but after some updates it is OK. Months ago I started the server continuously with USB flash drive. But in not fixed period the USB storage unmounts alone ( see this: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=84744 )
