Moving files from remote server

I have some files on a remote server.
I would want to Move the files (Cut, Paste) to my local server.
How can i achieve that?

If the remote server supports FTP protocol , you can use the following components of designer´s palette (Internet/FTP) to do the job:
tFtpGet than tFtpDelete.

I already tried using those components but there is one problem which bugs me.
By the time, GET has finished copying all the files to local directory, there might be a scenario, in which the remote directory is updated with a new file.
If the job now runs DELETE, then all the files will be deleted including the new ones.
I only want to delete the files which i have copied, hence the MOVE operation.
I could not find any component which could help me accomplish this?
Is there any workaround?

Hello umair
After getting the files in a local folder, you can use a tFileList component to iterate this folder and delete the files on server.(see the srceenshot)
