How to import a database (dump) using SSH.



To import a MySQL dump first upload the dump file to your webspace via FTP.
Once the file is in your webspace, please log into your shell account via SSH and
run this command:

myShell:~ > mysql -h dbxx.perfora.net -u dboxxxxxxxx -p dbxxxxxxxx < dump_file.sql
Enter password:
mysql>

Please replace this information with the MySQL login data shown in your
Control Panel.

Note: Not all packages have SSH Access. If you don't have SSH access, then
please use phpMyAdmin to import your dumpfile.
