There was a LMFS (Lisp Machine File System) to save files on disk. It
was the same (don't know to which point) with the MIT lisp machines,
so one can in theory look for the MIT implementation code.
There was also -as Rainer says- a remote file protocol, but the
Symbolics Virtual lispM, which run as a unix program in a unix machine
(allegedly the last form of lispM), had dropped use of both in favor
of NFS. It even dropped the file browser, one thing that was really to
be missed (seemingly because it was too tied to LMFS).

There is a version of the VLM which can use a LMFS and has also
the 'local file system control operations' in the file
browser. The VLM also can access a NFILE server on the
network or provide NFILE services, AFAIK.

I was researching some old lispM features and found out about this
Symbolics file system. In the RFC there are mentions of unix
implementations. Are there any code for this available, or is it buried
in a mess of smothering lawyers?
