  there is no FTP access to any WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  Hi there,

  Your site is hosted on WordPress.com, and they don’t allow ftp access for certain security reasons. If you want to have full file access via ftp and/or other methods, you will need a self-hosted site using software from WordPress.org. You will need to buy a hosting package from a hosting company and set it up yourself. This doesn’t have to do anything with the domain extension of your own domain.

  For more information on .com vs .org, please see this support document https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  does not mater what the TLD extension is – putting .ORG on you name will not change the hosting (or .net – .com – .me etc.)
