Re: .NET Connector and HTTP Tunneling ?

[Matt]

What about SSH? Look for the tutorial on this forum.

When I started working with Visual Basic & MySql I couldn't connect using SSH because forwarding was not enabled. Since I worked with PHP and MySql, I created some server side PHP scripts and VB functions to parse out the result and insert/update. This worked fine, except that I couldn't use it on a local server without PHP, etc. installed. I finally figured out how to enable SSH forwarding on my Linux server, rewrote the SQL in VB, and now use a custom abstraction layer with the Connector/Net.

My point is that now I have the flexability to connect anywhere and not have to write 2 versions. There is just configuration files/form to change to connect to a local or remote server. Plus, the communication is now secure using SSH.
