You can use Putty to connect securely to the server using SSH protocol, but how can you create a tunnel that will be used by MySql connections? I mean, how can you connect to 3306 port within a secure tunnel? Regards, Nuno Paquete

This is well-documented in numerous places including here <http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ssh_tunnelling.html> The relevant SSH options are -L, -R, and possible -f. -- If this was helpful, <http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=cbbrowne> rate me http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/sap.html "In most countries selling harmful things like drugs is punishable.
