Hi there!
For security reasons, we do not allow users FTP access to their WordPress.com site. What exactly are you trying to transfer?
It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

I read a lot of articles about install plugins on wordpress.org, but none taught me how to upload this form.

I just took a look at the documentation over at AWeber, and they have this notice posted:
Users of WordPress.com-hosted blogs, please note that they do not permit placing forms on your blog. You may want to have AWeber host your form instead, and simply provide a link to the form on your blog.

Ok. I got it.
I just want to include a link of my form on http://www.wordpress.ORG.
In this link https://help.aweber.com/entries/21781118-how-do-i-use-aweber-s-webform-widget-for-wordpress we can see in video a instruction to put a link into wordpress.org, but I can’t find this menu option.could you inform where is this option at wordpress.ORG ?
Thanks for your help.

That video explains how to install the plugin at WordPress.org. Your site portalinterpessoal.com is not a WordPress.org site. It is a WordPress.com site. So you are not able to install plugins.
It does look like their video is pretty outdated, although the directions are mostly the same. You can find directions for installing plugins like the AWeber plugin in your WordPress.org site here:

If you have more trouble with your WordPress.org site, you should check out their support documents and forums, which can be found here:

Hi there!
I see you were unhappy with my responses. Do you have a WordPress.org site that you’re trying to install this plugin to?
Let me know how I can help further!

I bought the domain http://www.portalinterpessoal.com, and I have access to the site http://www.wordpress.org with this userid / password. This also means I have the wordpress.org site or I need to buy a specific domain “.org” to access plugins?

WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
Your site portalinterpessoal.com is still hosted here at WordPress.com, which makes it a WordPress.com site. This means that your site can also be accessed through the underlying WordPress.com domain: portalinterpessoal.wordpress.com. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog.
To have a WordPress.org site, you need to purchase hosting from another company, such as BlueHost or DreamHost. Then you would install the free, open source, WordPress.org software. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.
Here’s a little bit more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:
Does that clear things up? Let me know if you have any questions!
