Rename file on FTP with PowerShell

Question

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	emp.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	emp.jpg live.jpg ``` Thanx!

Accepted Answer

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()
```
