export/import media from wordpress.com to www.ads-software.com

I have a question about importing media when migrating from wordpress.com to hosting a www.ads-software.com site.

I successfully exported the content at the wordpress.com site, and imported it to the new site (at Siteground, where I have a hosting account). However, I discovered that the export/import did not include any of the media.

So I went back to the wordpress.com, and did indeed see that there was an ‘Export Media Library’ that I did not see earlier. So I exported that. This was a .tar file, which when I expanded it, see that it a directory tree structured around year/month, like 2016/05, 2017/04, etc. and the media files are grouped in there.

My question is: how to import this?

As the old site is a wordpress.com site, I have no access to files or the server there, and have no idea how the files were organized there; but this exported file seems to indicate that it was.

Any help appreciated,
thanks,
rick
