Ftp from outside local network

Can i enter sharing from ftp or something else when im not on local network?

If i want to use a share at work from my work computer?

Open Port 21 on your router, redirect this port to your freenas server IP.
start ftp service on freenas, if you enable anonymous access, so the whole world
has access to your ftp.

Logan's adivce is a very direct answer to your question, but also very risky and insecure, like he menitoned.

If you want to try a more difficult method that is secure and allows you to map a drive, take a look at this tutorial:
