This is just how i have designed the HxC Direct Access protocol for the SD HxC Floppy Emulator. The HxC File selector running on the host machine "just" access directly to the flash media and mount the main partition to browse and select the hfe/adf images. Cortex and ff have made a copycat of this protocol.
Basically you can (slowly
) access to 2TB of data trough the floppy interface.
The file selector software can be "easily" extended to copy files from/to the usb stick/sd card to/from the host system
Btw there is already a driver allowing you to mount Hard disk image on Atari ST from the floppy emulator :

And on Amiga someone have made an tool from the hxc file selector sources to make these copy possibles (without driver) :
