I would store them in one file per server, with key=value pairs, so can just 'source' the right file. e.g. filename: ftphosts/nipl.net content: host=nipl.net user=sam pass=whatever can have other optional keys such as 'port', and such. If you want a single file, you could use TSV or other tabular format, keep them sorted, and a binary search tool such as 'look' to find the right line: ai.ki sam something nipl.net sam whatever but I'd prefer the separate files.
