what is the difference between simple FTP payload data and chopping a file into payload size. Both contains same data.

do FTP changes data in any means during the transfer which later handles in application or transport layer.

do FTP or other protocols pad zeors at the end of the packets........because I used FTP to transfer a file and a capture those packets.....when I have extracted the payload from packets I found out that the actual payload is of just 30 bytes out of 1448 bytes and rest is padded with zeros

any idea why this is happening .....
