naming scheme for lightweight objects

I need to come up with a naming scheme for the situation where some objects will exist in two versions. Let's say server side has File and Directory objects and it passes a lightweight version of these to the client side. The names LightweightFile and LightweightDirectory are obviously too long and clunky. What's a good word to use instead of lightweight here?

We have been using "Data Transfer Objects" shortened to DTO. It's a little wordy and requires the abbreviation though (which is why I found this question).

Lightweight client-side representations of server-side objects are often called Stub or Proxy.
