  There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or third party themes.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There is no other upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.ORG install.

  WordPress.ORG offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run advertising, and edit the database, etc. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
