  You cannot do that. WordPress.com blogs can only use designs found on their dashboard Theme page. They cannot use external themes or designs like Frontpage.

  You don’t need FTP. You only need to create an XML export file of the contents and you can import that on the dashboard Tools page. If you can’t create that file, you will have to copy an paste posts and pages.

  You can’t FTP anything to a WordPress.COM site – FTP is not allowed for security and reliability reasons
