Thank you for replying Carlos, but I'm under the impression that this will also put the file on the server. Acutally, mysqldump --tab uses INTO OUTFILE to generate the dump if i'm not mistaken

Hi

You can use on shell, connect at the client mysq -h (host or IP) -p(password)

and run the query:

SELECT a, b, c INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.txt'
  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
  LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
  FROM test_table
