SSH tunnel for MySQL on remote server

Sounds like steange behaviour indeed. You could turn up the LogLevel ssh setting to. Port forwarding should be pretty straight forward.

Yes. I've spent WAY too long trying to make something work ...

Unfortunately, the remote server is a server at a hosting company, and I think they're sick of me bugging them. They stopped responding a few hours ago, so I've been on my own.

Forgot to mention, I have SQLyog, and am tunneling through it just fine. It's doing exactly what I need to do. So it can be done! Frustration is increasing!
