  Hi! FTP access is not an option (http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/), however, moving an existing site to WordPress is. This link should help:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  Also, you might also review the Terms of Service before you move — wordpress.com is much different from a self-hosted site:

  http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/

  If you’re interested in getting more functionality, consider self-hosting at wordpress.org (different from wordpress.com.)
  en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Please let me know if this helps!

  Hello cactopianews,

  To add to m5mason’s response, if you plan to move from a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com, this might help:

  Coming from Self-hosted

  Best of luck to you!
