Hi Dan and everyone, First off, I apologize for the stupid question due to my lack of technical knowledge on this area.
What I am trying to do is to connect to a MySQL on a Win2k machine from another Win2k machine with SSH. After doing some research, I manage to grasp some idea on how to establish it. However, there are still some detail and confirmation I need to get it to work. First, correct me if I am wrong, I need to establish a SSH server on the machine which has mysql running [Done by setting up OpenSSH for Win32]. Then I need a SSH client on a another win2k machine [Done by having SecureCRT on the machine]. After these, I should configure the client SSH to connect to the server. Then I can run pretty much any MySQL GUI client to connect to MySQL under SSH. To the SSH client config section, I need to setup a local forwarding and/or remote forwarding and this is where I am not clear how to get it right. For example, server PC has ip 192.168.0.100 client PC has ip 192.168.0.101 To setup local forwarding: localport:3306 remotehost: 192.168.0.100 port: 3306 Then I can use MySQL client to connect to 192.168.0.101:3306 to reach the server, am I correct? I would greatly appreciate if someone can verify these steps and correct me if I misunderstood any item. Thank you so much.
