Hi all,<br />
<br />
I need to connect to mySql on a remote server via SSH but cannot get it to work.<br />
<br />
I don't know what I need to do to get it working.<br />
<br />
I have a mySQL client app for windows that won't connect. So I've tried putty and THEN the client but still no connection.<br />
<br />
I've talked to my host and they've said I just need to connect.<br />
<br />
Can anyone provide a simple instruction for dummies please?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Connect to MySQL Via SSH Tunnel

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

SSH / Telnet Software

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Linux Security

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
