  Best Regards
  Tom

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to install plugins, upload themes, and/or edit templates and themes in a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  To use plugins you must hire a web host and then set up your own WordPress.org install. Please read this comparison > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no means of accomplishing this at WordPress.com. You make your download posts and pages private and set up a secure contact form. Then you can provide the private URLs only to those who subscribe, but why bother as they can simply get the downloads and unsubscribe.
