As long as the hosting company provides SSH access, you can still connect through SQLyog SSH Tunneling option. The major benefit of SSH tunneling is that it allows us to connect to a MySQL server from behind a firewall when the MySQL server port is blocked. Many hosting companies that provide MySQL hosting will block access to the MySQL server from outside the hosting company's network, and only grant access to users connecting from localhost or from a machine within the network. This is known as SSH tunneling and is actually quite simple to use. SSH can be used to encrypt communications between SQLyog and your remote MySQL server.

SSH has been ported to Operating Systems on several platforms including Linux, Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. SSH can use several different forms of encryption, anywhere from 56 to 1024 bit. Accessing a shell account in this fashion though poses a danger in that everything that you do over that telnet session is visible in plain text on your local network, and the local network of the machine you are connecting to.Īs one solution SSH was created to encrypt the data being sent over the network as well as provide an option that prevents passwords from being ever passed over the network. The most common way is to use a telnet program such as the one called telnet (for Unix and Windows). There are a couple of ways that you can access most systems.

The Acronym SSH stands for Secure Shell Host.
