If the destination machine is MS-Windows system, then you could encrypt the password and store it in the registry.

Well the first question is "who are you trying to hide it from"?
At some point. you're going to have to decrypt it locally so that you can send it to the server "in the clear".

If you're on Windows, you could maybe store the password in the registry.
Edit::
BTW, if I remember good, then FileZilla standard stores the passwords in an xml file.
(FileZilla is written in C++, so you could maybe get your hands on the freely downloadable source code?)
