bash command to create custom named file

Question

Basically I have a string of text that I know and have set in a variable on my bash file.

I then need to save this text as a file called Foo.conf in desired directory.

Here is what I have so far:

#!/bin/bash
stringForFile='port=6000 Username=USER Password=PASSWORD'
mkdir '~/.Foo'
# need to save file as Foo.conf to .Foo directory

many thanks in advance

Why not use echo $stringForFile > ~/.Foo/Foo.conf after mkdir command?
