Some FTP clients allow the password to be specified as a command line
parameter. If this is the case, you don't have to write it into the file,
you can pass it to FTP from REXX directly, which is safer.
Or: use another transfer mechanism, for example scp, if available.
Or yet another transfer mechanism, WSA (ISPF Workstation Agent). You'd
initiate the transfer from the mainframe side, either by selecting the files
you want to transfer from a list or by executing a script (e.g. REXX).
Either way, there would be no need to enter or store a password anywhere
along the line.
