Should just have to give him your FTP username and password and Hostname (ie. ftp.yourdomain.com or host.hostingcompany.com).

If it was me, I'd have him mail me the resources so that I can upload them myself. I'd be wary about giving anyone access to the server.

Aidan has a point, some webhosts allow you to setup an FTP sub account if you want to give him limited access to your hosting account.
