FS allows you to search Ancestry from a FT profile detail page, and also reuses Ancestry index data for certain record collections, but it doesn't give you direct access to Ancestry family trees, for example.
I understand that LDS members can obtain free Ancestry accounts.
Please explain what type of Ancestry access you are after, then this Community may be able to help you.

If you are a member of the LDS Church, you can link your Ancestry and FamilySearch accounts.
If you are not, there is no direct link, but you can use one of the third-party tree management programs listed in the Solutions Gallery.4 -
You can also find answers to your questions by using the Help feature at the top of any FamilySearch screen by clicking the Help icon (the small circle with the question mark), then Help Centre. Enter a few key search terms to find and select knowledge articles appropriate to your question

If you are member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you can connect your accounts easily on the main FamilySearch page or you can go to the following page to find all of the free and useful accounts you can hook FamilySearch up to. The Church member subscription page will show all of them to you. If you are not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you do not get the free accounts, but you can go to Ancestry.com and use their programs for free for a limited time, I am not sure of the others, but they all probably have a limited free usage policy. You can try the solutions gallery and see if any of the programs will help you to link all your other ancestral programs together.
If you are asking if it is possible to transfer data from Ancestry to FamilySearch the answer to that is yes.
Transferring Information Between Ancestry and FamilySearch:
- GEDCOM File: You can create a GEDCOM file in Ancestry.com and upload that data to the FamilySearch Family Tree.
Transfer information is located at the following knowledge article There are still many problems when the transfer is done and you have to manually go in and double check your information. From what I am told it is best to upload smaller amount if you have a large tree to prevent many errors.
