Remote connection tool
Posted 11-26-2007 at 08:16 AM by The_Caveman
Like posted in the previous article, I was looking for some volunteers to see which providers provided a remote database access.
To ease things I wrote a small tool which will ask for the IP address of your server (or simply the .com, .net or .something address) the database name (a mysql database is required) to which you would like to connect and finally the username and password for this database (not the FTP one)
you can download it here:
Remote connection tool
Would be great if you could test it out for me and let me know if it works and gather a big list of providers that could work with the storytracer setup.
For me to make it work (I'm with mavenhosting) I had to login to the control panel and give access to the database by setting a special access. I made a screenshot of it so you have an idea of what you might be looking for

Thanks already for your help

 |  I tried, but as far as I know there is no remote access tool for Bluehost. I'll call the 1-800 number tomorrow and see if they can help. Like I said, I have no idea about some of these more technical things. |

| |  thanks for testing Berticus  much appreciated.It might be a little tricky indeed to get things going. But with the remote connection tool I provided it should make things a little easer( I hope ^^). Hoping the 1-800 people know a way out |
