  Hello there,
  There is not now now has there every been a button like that on WordPress.com hosted blogs, so be clear on that please. You are confusing WordPress.COM hosted blogs and WordPress.ORG software installs.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Edit: There is not now nor has there every been a button …

  We provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs. We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs. If your site is not hosted by wordpress.COM then you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
