Looping through files to ftp

I wrote an ftp shell script that ftp's everything in a particular dir using mput *
Instead of blindly ftp'ing every file in the directory, I want to:
1. ftp a file 2. mv that file to a archive folder 3. delete the file from the source folder 4. repeat 1-3 with the next file(s) 5. repeat until dir is empty
Can someone be able to post some code examples on how to do this?
