Re: SSH Server for MySQL-5.0.22 Server on WinXP-SP2

You can use plink or openSSH to vreate a tunnelling end point. All you do is setup a machine with ssh client to act as the MySQL server, by listenning on the mYSQL server port and then tunnelling that data through a single ssh session back to the real MySQL server.

If you would like details about how this can be done, let me know and I'll describe in more detail when I get back to the office. For now look at the ssh client help file and the plink help for a description of building and ssh tunnel with a local listenner port on a real network interface (non loopback address)

Thanks for the pointers, links & advice. However, I am concerned
that if all my VB6 clients will be using SSH to connect to MySQL
Server then, actually, each of them will be creating a separate SSH
session. That means 50 clients amount to 50 different SSH
sessions/processes on the server? I have also taken a look at the
openVPN - that's also a very good solution but my understanding is
that I'll have to re-compile MySQL from scratch if I want to use SSL.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I guess compiling from source is
NOTTTTTT a very easy process as far as Windows is concerned.

Any comments?
