To use this connection method, first thing you need to do is to upload the tunneling script - ntunnel_mysql.php to the webserver where MySQL Server is located.

The following instruction guides you through the process of uploading ntunnel_mysql.php to your webserver. In this tutorial, you require a FTP client - WS_FTP to make connection to your webserver. You can use any FTP client you are familiar with.

1. Startup WS_FTP and configure Session Profile Information.
   
   Profile Name
   This is the name of the FTP session profile, and can be anything you desire to identify the connection you are creating.
   
   Host name/Address
   A fully qualified Internet host name or an IP address.
   
   Host Type
   If you know the host type, select it from the drop down list. Otherwise, try Automatic detect.
   
   User ID
   Enter the User ID you want to use for this session profile.
   
   Password
   Enter the Password you want to use for the User ID you entered.
   
   

   

2. Select the Startup tab and enter Initial Directories for both Local and Remote system.
   
   

   

3. To upload the tunneling script:
   
   
   1. Browse the ntunnel_mysql.php on the source system.
   2. Open the directory to which you want to transfer files on the destination system.
   3. Transfer the files using the left and right arrow buttons located between the list boxes, i.e. Click the right arrow button to transfer files from the local to the remote system.
