I have a domain that is hosted at wordpress.  So when you go to mydomain.com, you are redirected to mydomain.wordpress.com.  However, I still have files hosted at mydomain.com that I want people to be able to access.  Is FTP the only way I can do this?

Yes, that would be the easiest way.  Do you still have your domain name associated with your hosting account?  If so then when you upload content, you won't have a definite path to the file in question since yourdomain.com no longer points to your hosting account, it points to your wordpress.com account.

We could though put a subdomain on your account, so that you could upload your files to your hosting account, and then give the file paths a name such as:  yourname.lunarpagestestsite.com/image/url/ishere.jpg.  To get that setup, just drop in an e-mail to support@lunarpages.com.  Hope that helps!

Are you redirecting via your public_html/.htaccess file? If so, you should be able to adjust it so that only mydomain.com (with or without www., with or without trailing slash (/)) is redirected, while everything else stays at home. Is that what you're looking for? It may be as simple as

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule  ^$  http://xxxxx.wordpress.com  [R=301]

That should  say that if you give no explicit directory path or file, your visitor will be redirected to wordpress.com.
