Hi folks,
I need to do a mysqldump of a database on a remote server, but the server does not have mysqldump installed. I would like to use the mysqldump on my machine to connect to the remote database and do the dump on my machine.
I have tried to create an ssh tunnel and then do the dump, but this does not seem to work. I tried:
ssh -f -L3310:remote.server:3306
[email protected] -N
The tunnel is created with success. If I do
telnet localhost 3310
I get some blurb which shows the correct server mysql version. However, doing the following seems to try to connect locally
mysqldump -P 3310 -h localhost -u mysql_user -p database_name table_name
Can someone assist me?
Thanks,
Mauritz
