Move database to a new machine

[Helene Wallis]

I need to move the database I just created on my desktop so it resides on our server. I see the commands for doing that--

mysqladmin -h 'other_hostname' create db_name
mysqldump db_name | mysql -h 'other_hostname' db_name

But I'm not sure how to specify 'other-hostname.' I know how to address our server, of course, but only in terms of its network name and directory names. Part of the problem is that I don't know where the database lives on my desktop, so I'm not sure how to specify a location on our server. I see the Workbench and shell apps, but nothing that tells me where the database itself is located.
