Well, you could use the SNDTCPF/RCVTCPF commands from News/400, August
1995, code available on their website to download at
http://www.news400.com/code/
that handles batch FTP.  You need to specify a password on the command,
but at least you could compile that into a CL program and then the only
file with the password would be the CL source file that could be
secured.  (The SNDTCPF/RCVTCPF commands don't log the password to the
joblog).

PS - In the SNDTCPFC CL program there's a bug at line 200.  Should be:
   IF  ( &maptbl *EQ '*NONE'  *OR  &maptbl *EQ '*DFT' )  DO  
Likewise, line 231 in RCVTCPFC should be:
    IF  ( &maptbl *EQ '*NONE'  *OR  &maptbl *EQ '*DFT' )  DO
