I did not quite understand what you mean by "to hide the login name and password ....during FTP ....in the script.."
I think that it is not safe and that's why it is not easy.
May be you could use the .netrc file instead?
It should be in the user's home directory and have permissions 600. Then only the owner will be able to read and write to the file.

Type "man netrc" on your system for more details.
