There does not need to be a window open.

I get the error "FTP connection to "ftp.myurl.com" could not be
opened because the server rejected the password.

That suggests that your URL contains an incorrect password. For example, the URL


ftp://myusername@myhostname/

implies a blank password (which probably is not what you want). To include a non-blank password in the URL you would say

ftp://myusername:mypassword@myhostname/

To have Fetch look for the password in the keychain you'd say

ftp://myusername:@myhostname/

If I go to Fetch and manually open a window to that domain it then
works without any problem.

In that case it ignores the password in the URL, since you're already connected.


I don't see any command in Fetch to merely open a connection to a
server

Besides "make new transfer window" you can also say

open url "ftp://myusername:@myhostname/";
