The photos were taken at high resolution but none of these will be printed beyond 8×10.

WETransfer works well for large files and is free. wetransfer.com

Exactly!!! The receiving end has to have an ftp server to accept the transferred files.

Thought so.
Never did it, so I wasn't positive.

I had an FTP server app running on my University's mainframe knack in the dark ages when I needed to pass drafts of my PhD dissertation to my professor was kitty corner across the country from me and, that he could just sign on to the computer where I ultimately got my degree and do a simple command was huge in those days before FedEx, and such like organizations. I now run an FTP server on my Linux system and run an FTP app on my PC running Windows and on my phone running Android. If somebody wants some more or less instantaneous movement of document between two (or more) locations, it's just the ticket for me. But, some folks prefer email on which the size of files can be an issue. So, if the file I'm sending is bigger than 8MB, Then I line up all the files I need to get across the network and ZIP them into 8MB files and send them as email attachments. That way, I can send 2 or more files per email. I also sometimes put files on the Web for people to download. But, I ran into a problem recently when I was out of the country. The people who put the file on the Web were only allowed to have the document on the Web until a certain date that would happen before I got back. So, my last official act before heading for the plane was to drop off an empty memory stick to the people who'd know when the files were on the Web site to copy the document onto my memory stick before it was taken off the Web site.
My basic thing, since I know almost all of the software pretty well, is to use the preference of the recipient for how to transmit the material to him/her.
Hope this helps.

Try google photos you can upload full res files and just send the link. Your receiving person will click on it and see all the pictures, then he or she can decide which ones or all to download to their computers.

For $20/year you can have up to 100Gb of storage. But there is a free version that has less storage. I have been using this for years and is a great way to store and manage your files and a great way to send pictures.
If you use a phone it could auto synch all your images stored in the phone. No need to think about it. For instance, I download the pictures from my Sony and my Nikon cameras wirelessly to my iPhone (it takes a few seconds) then the phone auto synchs with Google and all my pictures magically appear in Google photos. I can erase at will the pictures on my phone or just leave them there.

I used to print the images and take them down to the US Postal Service and send them. Crazy how those old days used to work.

Email if the file size is less than 20Meg total of all images, or individually if 1 or 2.
Otherwise I put them up on One Drive and send people a link to get them.

I use Dropbox for this purpose (no cost version is fine)

Dropbox is great for cloud storage but Google Photos can manage and tag locations. It has intelligence since it can manage the archiving plus has many search features.

Another vote for Google Photos. It's easy and it even displays them as a nice gallery and there is a download all option.

Is it real simple to send files to someone with FTP?
How do I connect to their computer?
Do they need to be running FTP also?

No. They need to be running an ftp server, which is unlikely. Try Dropbox or one of the other solutions suggested.
