  Hi there! For security reasons, we do not give FTP access to our WordPress.com servers.
  However, to make your transition, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

  Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks very much and best of luck with your self-hosted site.
