Append and Clear Text File Web Form C#

There is an existing process that is writing to a text file on my site. Let's say the file is at http://www.mysite.com/addresses/addresses.txt

I have been able to successfully display the contents of the file in a text box using client.DownloadString, however I can't find a clear answer on how to append to the end of this text file and also to clear the contents of this file. This is a text file on my web server.

I'm working in C#. I do know the path to the file on the server at c:\inetpub\site\addresses\address.txt as well.

Any ideas on how to append or clear this file? Everything I seem to find on it is on windows forms and i don't use enough DotNet to know where to look.

Thanks!
