I guess the security model is important. Is the FTP serer on the open Internet and the archive behind a firewalL, that mounting one onto the other is a problem? With a mount, it is just mkdir and mv. If you need to ftp the data out of the FTP server, sometimes it is simpler to push, as the files to be discovered as new and not being written are local, but more secure to have the archive server pull, so there is no ingoing login credentials or trust. Even with pull, the FTP server can 'stage' the data to be archived in a dedicated sub-tree so the archive server just gets anything in there to a parallel path.
Renaming and moving files inside a device is a great way to give them a status indicator, so they are not moved prematurely. Unlike a cp, where files take time to write, with mv the files are not there one moment, and there the next, complete. It's just a directory write. Ack or marker files is just muddy, old guy thinking.
