At a later moment the 'old links' can be redirected.

How do I do that in a statement (like .htaccess ??) and where do I put this file (the root of the FTP-server, or the root of the directory, or else)

redirect the FTP-folder of the old site - and 'old links' - to the main wordpress.com blog/site

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

This need not to be seen - and indexed - anymore.

I can delete the content, but would like to "play save" for the moment and redirect the FTP-folder of the old site - and 'old links' - to the main wordpress.com blog/site.

If your old site is a plain html site then you have a bunch of copy and pasting to do

You domain name can be mapped to your blog here once you get the content moved: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

The main/original URL has been relinked already to the WordPress.com-site.
I have not installed WordPress on a server; I use the online WordPress.com environment for displaying and editing.

However, I don't want to delete all the content/directory immediately on the webserver, and am wondering if by means of a .htaccess file this directory can be rerouted to the WordPress-environment.

If htaccess is not the perfect way, which is? And how do I do this?

Which full statement do I have to use - and place this file in the root of the webserver?
