    SSH Database To MediaTempl GridService

    Hi all... I normally upload my db's through phpMyAdmin, but it's too big for the limit that phpMyAdmin and MediaTemple have. They told me I could ssh the database to the server via SSH. I have been able to access the server via SSH but that's about it... Anyone done this on MediaTemple's Grid Service?

    I imagine the only difference compared to other (single-server) hosts would be the need to specify a hostname:
    Code:
    mysql -uUSERNAME -p -hHOSTNAME DATABASENAME <database-backup-file.sql
    Replace the capitalized stuff with details from your control panel.

    Hmmmm I get:

    -bash: database.sql: No such file or directory
    It's on the Desktop, do I need to point to it? Not even sure how to do that...
