  I have only used self-hosted wordpress sites using wordpress.org.

  I’m helping somebody to create a form on her site, which isn’t self-hosted and she’s using wordpress.com.

  I thought that it would be as simple as downloading a form building plugin but I guess plugins can’t be used with wordpress.com. This has thrown me off big-time.

  So… how do I use jetpack to create a form builder? I want the form to accept file uploads as well as contact information.

  Thanks.

  Please read this very carefully http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  The only form that can be used is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  You don’t and you can’t.
