Perhaps you could use SCP (or SSH tunneling) to transfer the file from
system to system, so that it need not ever be visible to the outside
world, and thus not need the rather lame zip password.

Another option would be to take the whole file and 2-way encrypt it
with a public/private key pair, and install the private key on the
receiving server.

In other words, get out of the zip password rut, and protect the file
some other way.
