Today we consider the organization of SSH tunneling through PUTTY to MySQL.
Some programs require a connection to the database MySQL. For example mysql.exe console or other tools to work with databases of online stores or websites.
Very often, in the application, which requires a connection to the database MySQL, there are only 5 fields:
- Host
- Port
- Login
- Password
- Database
Some hosting providers allow direct access to the databases from outside, but others provide access to MySQL only through SSH protocol.
To build a SSH tunnel from your local machine to the database on the hosting, we recommend using PuTTY.
Next, write out step by step process.
