I have defined two endpoints in setup.xml.
one is a custom endpoint and other is storage/passwords.
There is username, password field in storage/passwords and is written to passwords.conf
custom endpoint writes to customfile.conf
I want to have username field also write to customfile.conf so that i can read the password from storage/passwords endpoint where usernames match.
How can i do this?
Thanks

This is for exporting file to ftp server. I need to get username from customfile.conf along with other ftp parameters and then read password.conf to get the passowrd for user from customfile.conf and then perform the export
