MSRP vs FTP

What is difference between MSRP(Message Session Relay Protocol) protocol and FTP protocol ( in terms of transferring files)

From stackoverflow joe

• What precisely do you mean by "operationally"?

  FTP is a protocol for transferring files over IP.

  MSRP is a protocol for sending instant messages.

  They are not at all alike. You might as well ask what the operational differences between dogs and TheTXI are.

  Pesto : Well, for one, most dogs aren't obsessively fixated on ponies.

  Welbog : @Pesto: One could say the same of FTP.

• I assume you're asking in terms of transferring files.

  ftp, or File Transfer Protocol, is designed for transferring files from a dedicated server.

  msrp, or Message Session Relay Protocol, is used for "transmitting a series of related instant messages". This can be used to transfer files to another user.

  The big difference I can see is that ftp requires a server, while msrp is user to user, or peer to peer.
