Rename file on FTP with PowerShell

Question 1

Is there a way to rename the file in a FTP directory?
I’m streaming live images from computer to FTP, but problem is that when it uploads the image to FTP it making instant replacement of a file. I want to firstly upload image with temporary name and then make a rename to live.jpg. It’s gonna be like cached file uploading.

while($true)
{
    $i++
    $File = "c:\live\temp.jpg"
    $ftp = "ftp://username:password@example.com/camera/temp.jpg"

    $webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
    $uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftp)

    $webclient.UploadFile($uri, $File)
}

$File = "c:\live\temp.jpg"

$ftp = "ftp://username:password@example.com/camera/temp.jpg"

$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

$uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftp)

$webclient.UploadFile($uri, $File)

}

How can I use this in script properly ?

Rename-Item ..\camera\temp.jpg live.jpg

1 2	Rename-Item ..\camera\temp.jpg live.jpg

Thanx!

Question 2

Try this:

$ftp = [System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::Create("ftp://username:password@example.com/camera/temp.jpg")
$ftp.KeepAlive = $true
$ftp.UsePassive = $true
$ftp.Method = "Rename"
$ftp.RenameTo = "camera/temp1.jpg"
$ftp.UseBinary = $true
$response = [System.Net.FtpWebResponse] $ftp.GetResponse()
