SCP and then touch .done file

All, I am looking to make a script and wanted to see if anyone could help out.

The script will go through the directory, put a timestamp, transfer it and then create a touch $file.done script

HEre is my initial idea, but I don't think it will work properly. Anyone able to help me refine it to do what I need it to do?
Code:
for file in /directory
          do
           mv $file $file+`date`
           scp $file user@host:/
           ssh user@host 'touch /$file.done
           done
