It may be a bit late but you could try:

ssh REMOTE_USER@host mysqldump -uREMOTE_DB_USER -pPASS OLD_DB | mysql -uDB_USER -pPASS NEW_DB

This way your are feeding the remote DB dump into the local mysql command.

I’m trying to the reverse of this command but the remote server is not registering the password.

mysql -u USER -pPASSWORD DATABASE_NAME | ssh USER@REMOTE_HOSTNAME mysqldump -v -u USER -pPASSWORD -h HOST --opt --compress DATABASE_NAME

I am prompted for my ssh password. After entering it and pressing return, nothing happens. If I hit return again, it tells my my password is incorrect, when I know it’s not.

If I break the command up it works as expected.

ssh USER@ REMOTE_HOSTNAME mysqldump -v -u USER -pPASSWORD -h HOST --opt --compress DATABASE_NAME > db.sql

Any idea’s what’s causing this hang up?

Thanks

I’d said more : don’t use password on command line or erase history after…
