I can't update this manually via command line because when I try it says already installed and it is not listed in core to delete first and if I try through user interface it
wants to upload via ftp.
How do I just install update from 7.16 to 7.17 without ftp and using command line if I can't delete old version first?

By ms-core do you mean Drupal
By ms-core do you mean Drupal core? I couldn't find a 7-x module that fit that with a 7.17 version.
You usually update core in the same manner you installed it in the first place-
If you've installed via some sort of webhost control panel installer, in which case you'd look to that to see if the installer has the upgrade available. If you used ftp or ssh (putty/telnet/etc) you'd use that.
When I hear 'command-line' I usually think ssh but it almost sounds like you are talking about using the 'install a new module' and 'update module' UI screens on the site.
In case I'm mis-understanding and it is just a module and you see it on the update page but it's telling you to use ftp...that implies a permissions issue. Means the system either doesn't have a temp file set where it can download the files, or the website doesn't have write permission to the module folder. You usually need ftp or a ssh connection to fix those, and there may be options in the webhost cpanel (varies).
If you are still having problems and could provide a bit of clarification as to what you are trying to update, and why you can't use ftp (or what 'command-line' is for you), I'll try to render what assistance I can.

ms-core for moneyscripts paid module
no ms-core developed by moneyscripts that works with pay to publish. http://www.moneyscripts.net/ms_core/releases/ms-core-7x-217
I can't use ftp because I only use ssh command line on my mac terminal window. when i wget the file it says it is already installed detecting the old version but I cannot find it in core to delete. I have contacted developer for help.
But I did just install drush in my root directory and tried to run drush update but got this
The drush command 'update' could not be found.
I tried calling drush from my drupal folder but still no luck.
As for permissions I did chmod a+w to files in ssh but the ownership is root so not sure of chown to apache because www-all or whatever it is doesn't work in CentOs.
okay. I understand now.
okay. I understand now. that's a private module not hosted on drupal itself so you have to tell drush where to fetch it from, and it's probably access protected anyway...
The file itself shouldn't be in the core modules/ folder but either in a sites/ modules folder (usually sites/all/modules/) or in a profile folder if it was part of a profile installation (/profiles/...).
If you have find on your system you could try that, or "grep -r 'ms_core' ." would return files containing that string to give you a path (perhaps a more unique string if you have one :)
The developer should be able to provide more support tho.
Good luck.

thanks but
I AM WRONG! ms_core does go in sites/all/modules and so was easily able to delete and import latest vs. SORRY just need a break to
re align my brain !
