File Service 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
         for their eventual expansion.  Other
        suggestions were "File Slurping Protocol", "Flaky Stream
        Protocol" and "FTP's Sexier Partner".
