Re: MySQL Workbench Secure Export and Import

[Mark Johnson]

A simple, safe option for a novice: export your schema/data with MySQL Workbench, compress/encrypt it with 7-Zip (AES-256), then share via a secure method like WinSCP/FileZilla over SFTP. Share the password separately. The analyst can validate with a SHA-256 checksum. If budget allows, a managed cloud option like Egnyte adds extra security, but the free method works fine if you’re careful.
