    Store a file in binary transfer mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
    ``STOR`` command: ``"STOR filename"``. *file* is an open file object which is
    read until EOF using its :meth:`read` method in blocks of size *blocksize* to
    provide the data to be stored.  The *blocksize* argument defaults to 8192.
    *callback* is an optional single parameter callable that is called
-   on each block of data after it is sent.
+   on each block of data after it is sent. *rest* means the same thing as in the
