The file must be on the remote machine (as has been answered), but yes, if you
are connected to the shell (via telnet/ssh/ssh2/etc), you can execute the
command. And, no, the extension may be anything (all you're doing is
redirecting the contents of the file (via '<') into the 'mysql <database>'
command.
