Have a look at curl's -n option which allows you to keep clear text passwords out of your scripts.
-n works with a special file $HOME/.netrc (Note the dot) that you must create, edit, and set permissions to owner read and write only. It contains usernames and passwords for each machine or IP you want to talk to.
The format of .netrc is easily found with a search. It's a bit like Apple's Keychain but 1) A whole lot simpler and less intrusive, and 2) A bit less secure.
Another long term option is to file a bug report with Apple that Finder's "Go_Connect to (FTP) Server" fails to allow uploads even if you have the required privileges. If everyone complained perhaps it would be taken seriously.
