What is difference between MSRP(Message Session Relay Protocol) protocol and FTP protocol ( in terms of transferring files)
+3
A:
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.

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

@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.
