UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback Moving Database to a new host, HELP!

To save some confusion, as I know someone will try it..
[] type: mysqldump -u *dbuser* -p *databasename* > dumpfilename.dmp
then enter your dbpassword at the prompt
when that's done, type gzip dumpfilename.dmp
then you can ftp that file (in binary mode) to your new host... telnet/ssh there and:
type gunzip dumpfilename.dmp.gz
mysql -u *dbuser* -p *databasename* < dumpfilename.dmp
enter your dbpassword at the prompt.

I reformatted the above -- anything enclosed in *'s should be replaced with username/database/whatever, but don't include the *'s.

I figured since the command does contain a triangle brace, it'd be an idea not to display examples containing triangle braces that are only there to indicate where to insert info.

Hope I'm not confusing anyone.
