  I’m afraid this isn’t possible. We don’t have ANY FTP access on WordPress.com, so there’s no way to upload those files to your WordPress.com blog. If you want, you can set up a static website using any WordPress.com theme and transfer your content to that site, but you’ll only be able to move over your content, i.e. text and images.

  You can’t use ANY JavaScript here, some HTML like form and iframe tags won’t work here, and to make any CSS changes you need the Premium or Business upgrades. https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  You might want to look into the self-hosted option using WordPress.org. Self-hosting requires you having your own domain, so it’s not free, but it will allow you more freedom in what you can do with your site: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
