Move files after upload using PowerShell/WinSCP Script

I am using a PowerShell script generated in WinSCP to sftp files in a certain folder. It runs every Friday morning, but I need it to move the files to another folder after they are uploaded. I tried the MoveFiles and PutFiles command but they don't seem to work. Any help is appreciated. Code below.

# Load WinSCP .NET assembly
Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"

# Set up session options
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
    Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
    HostName = "xxxx"
    UserName = "xxxxx"
    Password = "xxxx"
    SshHostKeyFingerprint = "xxxxx"
}

$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session

try
{
    # Connect
    $session.Open($sessionOptions)

    # Transfer files
    $session.PutFiles("xxxxx", "xxxxxx*").Check()


}
finally
{
    $session.Dispose()
}

Yes, I did see this on Google. This issue I am having is when you have multiple lines in the section below:

# Transfer files
$session.PutFiles("xxxxx", "xxxxxx*").Check()

It does not seem to go line by line after the transfer and move each file after the transfer. It only moved the first file in the list.

There's an example on WinSCP site example for your exact question:
Moving local files to different location after successful upload.

It happens to be the very first google hit for your question title!

The relevant piece of the code is:

# Iterate over every transfer
foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers)
{
    # Success or error?
    if ($transfer.Error -eq $Null)
    {
        Write-Host "Upload of $($transfer.FileName) succeeded, moving to backup"
        # Upload succeeded, move source file to backup
        Move-Item $transfer.FileName $backupPath
    }
    else
    {
        Write-Host "Upload of $($transfer.FileName) failed: $($transfer.Error.Message)"
    }
}
