  There is no FTP access to our free hosted WorPress.com blogs and we bloggers can’t install plugins for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install plugins. Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can’t install plugins on WordPress.com. If you want to have a blog with more flexibility (including plugins), you will need to have a self-hosted blog using WordPress.org.

  More info about WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
