  There is no FTP access on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  I’m trying to understand your question, do you have a WordPress.COM blog that you want moved over to self-hosted WordPress.ORG site which GoDaddy is your host for? If that’s the case, here is an article that may help: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  Best of luck! :)

  Here are details about the differences between
  WordPress.COM
  and
  WordPress.ORG

  I’ve already paid them for this access

  It’s unclear what you have paid for. Do you mean that you paid for a domain upgrade to remove the “.wordpress.com/” from your URL?

  If that is what you paid for, then please read this part of that article carefully:

  Same Terms of Service: With the custom domain, your blog will still be hosted on WordPress.com, and will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service. Uploading custom themes or plugins is not supported on WordPress.com, as are certain HTML codes and scripts. FTP access to your files is not available.
