  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.
  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.

  Also note that the spammy make money site linked to your username is not a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and sites of that ilk are not even allowed here. If that’s the site you refer to then we provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  Are you asking how to move to WordPress.ORG?

  To move your content you need to create an XML export file of your content. It will not include the theme as they cannot be exported. See 3 below.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
  http://wordpress.org/themes/
  http://wordpress.org/plugins/

  3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.

  4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/

  6. Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
