You could write a VBscript that creates your FTP script.
Store the password in a Win10 user or volatile environment variable.
The VBscript could run the FTP script, then delete the script file,
so there is no password kept on disk for more than the duration of
the ftp.

I would also recommmend using FTPS with Curl.

Set the password:
set objShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) 
Set objSystemEnv = objShell.Environment( "VOLATILE" ) 
objSystemEnv( "ZZPASS" )=V_PW

Retrieve the password:
set objShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )  
Set objSystemEnv = objShell.Environment( "VOLATILE" ) 
V_PW = objSystemEnv( "ZZPASS" )
