How does the mysql command line client connect to the database through the ssh server?

The

project gives the account password of the database. At present, you can only connect through the ssh proxy using navicat. I think the connection can also be achieved through the command line.

you mean you want to connect in CMD? Download a MySQL client


just take advantage of the ssh reverse proxy. Refer to my previous article, which mentioned this requirement. In fact, other clients that support ssh also take advantage of this: https://www.jianshu.com/p/edc.


  1. ssh to the springboard machine and then use mysql to connect
  2. Open a tunnel with ssh

my MySQL server is 192.168.41.83 . I want to connect

at 192.168.41.72 .

first open the tunnel in 192.168.41.72 execute the command

[root@mysql-test-72 ~]-sharp ssh -NPf -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@192.168.41.83 -L 3305:127.0.0.1:3306
root@192.168.41.83's password: 
[root@mysql-test-72 ~]-sharp 
  • -f : run in the background after completing the connection
  • -N : do not execute remote commands
  • -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no : do not prompt whether to select yes
  • 3305 : local port
  • 127.0.0.1 li 3306 : remote machine port < / machine >

check port status

[root@mysql-test-72 ~]-sharp netstat -ntlp
