FTP on wordpress

setting up an ftp on my wordpress hosted blog. I am not sure how to do this. I am going to be uploading files remotely for my blog and want to see how this can be done without creating new pages.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sorry no FTP access at WordPress.COM – reliability & security issues
You can upload files to your media library
Dashboard >> Media >> Add new

Thank you so much. That is unfortunate to hear as that will not get it done for what I need to accomplish. We are trying to upload track and field results live as the events finish. Too much to add them to the library and then get them ‘live’.
I am thankful for your info. and how quickly you provided the feedback.

You be welcome
You can also upload them into a Post or Page – that saves a step or two – you do need to be a bit careful with the name for the file – the time required is just a couple of minutes once you get used to it or make a draft Post ahead of time
do a few tests and see how you like it
The other option is to get your own hosting and install WordPress.ORG software – but more work and costs more –

Again thank you. I will have to look into own hosting as I really need to have the files posted with “no steps”

Give the “Drag and drop” file uploading a try – about as easy as you can get.
The only way to cycle access quicker is if viewers have direct access to the folder on a server so you don’t need to make a Post
You be welcome & good luck
