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 TEMP 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:[e-mail]/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

Thanx!

Try this:

$ftp = [System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::Create("ftp://username:[e-mail]/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()
