How to batch move/delete files on FTP using scripts

I currently use Globalscapes CuteFTP as my FTP client and am in the process of cleaning up old, unused files. I use a script to upload new files to the FTP but that is based on a wildcard; uploading anything I have in a specific folder.

Now I want to do the opposite and delete files but only specific files. I have a list of over 1,000 file names that I need to remove (or ideally move to a designated folder) but I am not sure how to write the script to do this. Could someone help me create a batch relocate script or at least point me in the right direction?

You'll have better luck looking for some FTP client that allows scriptable actions. A quick search pointed out http://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting which might be helpful.
