File Service Protocol
FSP

   <protocol> (FSP) A {protocol}, similar to {FTP}, for copying
   {files} between computers.  It's designed for {anonymous
   archives}, and has protection against {server} and {network}
   overloading.  It doesn't use connections so it can survive
   interruptions in service.

   Until 1993-08-12, FSP didn't stand for anything.  Wen-King
   was responsible for the initials and Michael Grubb
   <[email protected]> for their eventual expansion.  Other
   suggestions were "File Slurping Protocol", "Flaky Stream
   Protocol" and "FTP's Sexier Partner".
