Upload file to Gallery REST SDK

Trying to use the REST SDK to upload a file to a gallery.  Everything looks like it works, but the file seems corrupted when I try download/view it from my community.  I'm not entirely how to pass in the filedata as a byte array as the method asks for a string and not sure I'm encoding it correctly.

byte[] fileData = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(myPdfPath);

                    // Add as a new media item to Telligent
                    var response = host.PostToDynamic(2, "media/{mediagalleryid}/files.json", false, new RestPostOptions
                    {
                        PathParameters = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection {
                            { "mediagalleryid", "246" }
                        },
                        PostParameters = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection {
                            { "Name", resourceFileName },
                            { "FileName", resourceFileName},
                            { "FileData", String.Join(" ", fileData)},
                            { "ContentType", MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(resourceFileName)},
                            { "Tags", tags},
                            { "Description", description}
                        }
                    });
