Remote Access to MySQL Database

[jimbo pruett]

I currently use phpmyadmin on nearlyfreespeech.net

I want to use the wonderful mysql workbench since it supports multiple sql's...


How to I do it? My provider said I must use port forwarding like this.

YourPrompt> ssh -N -L 3306:your.db:3306 [e-mail]


I tried this:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=127.0.0.1 listenport=3306 connectaddress=[e-mail] connectport=3306

and I tried this:

ssh -N -L 3306:registration.db:3306 [e-mail]

Note: in workbench, I use this:
https:/www.wikispeedia.org/untitled.png

It never connects.... It never asks for pw....
(aside: I swear I did this in the past, but now it doesn't connect...)

Any help appreciated.


Stay safe!
