MSRP vs FTP

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
