Or perhaps:

FXP - File Access Protocol
RFX - Remote File Access (protocol)

'Access' sounds less awkward than 'Manipulation'. 'Management' also begins
with M, but seems to carry a different meaning (managing whole files rather
than their contents). Also, acronyms containing the letter X usually sound
more seXy.

Any votes?

My vote currently goes to RFX, mainly because it sounds better.
