FTP does not work for me as it does not allow renaming of files.
Relative to the server which initiates the ftp, there is no ftp "rename" command for local files but there is ftp "rename" for remote files (subject to directory permissions). Note that the command is actually "rename" not "mv".
It is conventional to ftp files under a temporary name then rename them after a successful transfer.
Assuming you will be initating the the ftp from the master computer you could rename the target file just before renaming the file you transferred successfully under a temporary name.

You can ftp to "localhost" if it is important to use ftp to rename local files but most scripters would just use shell commands.
