FTP credentials from a config file

Hi,

I am using the following syntax to connect to an FTP server and paste the file.
Based on the value in the variable $Folder, i want to connect to different folders on the same server. The credential is different to access different folders. How to get the user name and password from a config file for each folder?

I dont want to Hard code the credentials in my shell script.

Folder= FolderA or FolderB.

ftp -pin $Test_host <<++
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSW
cd $Folder
put $FILE.txt
bye
++


Thanks
Ashok
