Write if we have data to write. FTP files are always binary to preserve the data exactly. The binary/text (ascii) flag is just for tell how the bits are delivered from a read.
 

contentsOfEntireFile

Fetch the data off the server and store it in me. But not if I already have it.

If we have data, don't reread.
 

padToEndWith:

On the Mac, files do not truncate, so pad it with a harmless character. But Remote FTP files always replace, so no need to pad.

If we are done, then let the server know
