Configuring Basic Parameters

[Joshua Jones]

Hi everyone,

First timer with MySQL Workbench…

Have just installed it on my Mac and trying to configure the basic parameters to connect to a server.

I know the URL of the server (and its IP) as well as the port number and my own username and password.

Trying to connect with "Standard TCP/IP over SSH" I am confused as to where these details go?

What is the difference between "SSH hostname" and "MySQL hostname" in simple terms?

Could someone please help me unserstand these elementary bits; e.g. which field refers to my credentials on the server and which field to do with my Mac's SSH client?

Thank you
