I have a Windows Server 2008 RC server running at the moment and want to know if it's a good idea to create a non-administrator user account to access the server for things like FTP.
It is only myself and another person who will be accessing the server via FTP, but I would like to know whether it is good practice to create a non-administrator account on the "User Accounts" section of the server in order to create login details for my FTP server?
Thanks!

Jump to PostCreating a non Administrative account is a great idea. You should always follow the principle of least privileges. Only allow access to what is needed.
