It's strange you and all the people who answered you missed the obvious
answer - the manpage you're looking for is netrc(5)!!! (see 'man netrc').

About 7 years ago I wrote a shell-script which uses the standard ftp (not
ncftp or any other such non-standard program) to automate file transfers
using .netrc's. If you're interested, take a look at
