How to move a file in sftp using renci library?

Question

I am attempting to move file, yet nothing happens and no exceptions are reported.

    public static void MoveFiles(string source, string destination, LoginInfo loginInfo)
    {
        using (SftpClient sftp = new SftpClient(loginInfo.Uri, loginInfo.Port, loginInfo.User, loginInfo.Password))
        {
            foreach (SftpFile file in sftp.ListDirectory(source))
            {
                file.MoveTo(destination + file.Name);
            }
        }
    }

The debugger simply steps out of the foreach:

What am I doing wrong?

I am using the following dependencies:

using Renci.SshNet;
using Renci.SshNet.Sftp;

You need to connect the client to the server first using

sftp.Connect();

And you should also wrap it in a try-catch in case of any errors.

public static void MoveFiles(string source, string destination, LoginInfo loginInfo) {
    try {
        using (SftpClient sftp = new SftpClient(loginInfo.Uri, loginInfo.Port, loginInfo.User, loginInfo.Password)) {
            sftp.Connect();
            var files = sftp.ListDirectory(source)
            foreach (SftpFile file in files) {
                file.MoveTo(destination + file.Name);
            }
        }
    } catch(Exception ex) {
        //...handle
    }
}
