Will never coping sftp-config.json file to server (it will be only on my Mac).

I will keep password in sftp-config.json file (of course in plain text) but will use FTPS (port 990 etc.). So please advice me is below scenario OK?: Is it really good? Please consider I am from Windows world and even I have last virus on my windows PC more than 10 years ago I still worried about keeping plain text password on my computer. I read it is almost as secure as SFTP but back for the moment for storing password in plaintext on my machine in sftp-config.json file. Actually servers I use do not have shell acces so I can’t use SSH. it is worth noting that the protocol sends them in the clear anyway. There is no way currently for Sublime SFTP to store FTP passwords in any sort of keychain, however. Sublime SFTP fully integrates with the OS X Keychain, Pageant (for Windows) and the various Linux keychain apps for SSH key passphrases. Do you have the same problem, if so, probably a firewall issue. Try to connect to another server you know works. Check DNS resolution: on the terminal, ping SERVER where SERVER is the DNS name. If you care about security enough to care if your password is stored on your machine in plaintext (which is good!), I would highly recommend only using the SFTP protocol and using an SSH key with a passphrase. Here are the things to check: You are getting refused, which could be wrong server, or a firewall sending a TCP REJECT.
