  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs. We cannot install plugins or third party themes. There are no upgrades you can purchase that provide FTP access.

  If you wish to have complete control over a blog, FTP access, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I hope you clearly undertand that you cannot install any plugins at all in a free hosted WordPress.com blog. They are only for WordPress.org installs.
