    OK article, but most ISP\’s wont let you have direct remote access to the db, for security reasons.

    To get this to work:

    • Make sure that you are not behind a firewall OR open port 3306 in your firewall (the standard MySQL port).
    • The user must have permission to connect to the MySQL database from outside of the web server. This permission can easily be granted by specifying % in the host field of the MySQL user table (or you can specify the IP address of your computer/network if you know it). As the previous user suggested, this is often set to ‘localhost’ for security reasons. If you are concerned about security, grant the permission, upload your data and then remove permission again.
