Hi there,
Is it that you would like to clone the website harshaash.wordpress.com using FTP?
Waiting to hear from you

Hi. I want to clone harshaash.com (also built on WordPress) to harshaash.wordpress.com. The original website is harshaash.com and the new place I want is harshaash.wordpress.com

Okay awesome!
For this to happen you will need to have an account with a WordPress Business plan or higher. Please use this link as a reference for FTP access https://wordpress.com/support/ftp-access/
The link also shows you how to carry across resources without the use of FTP.
I hope this helps, please let me know your progress with this!

You don’t need FTP-access to clone a website. If you want to move or copy the content of a site, you can do so by exporting it as a XML-file, net you can import that file into your wordpress.com website.

Hi there,
You can’t transfer a full site to WordPress.com using FTP in this way. While we do offer SFTP access on our Business Plan, we don’t allow you to access and modify core WordPress files, so that method cannot be used to do a full-site migration/clone a site.
If you want to migrate a website built with the open source version of WordPress to a site on WordPress.com, you can either migrate the content only using a regular WordPress export, as @staartmees indicated above.
Or you can do a full-site migration that will bring over your theme and plugins as well using the Jetpack plugin on our Business Plan:

Let us know if you have any questions about this.

My apologies for the wrong solution @harshaash.
@kokkieh and @staartmees have given great and more suitable answers. I hope this helps you.
