navaho said:you have ssh or telnet access on the new machine, but not the old?
Here is a fast way to see if you have remote access to the old MySQL server
$bash 2.0> mysqldump -u username -p -h oldhostmachine.com --opt databasename > databasename.sql
You will be promted for a password. then if it connects you're in luck. [/]
Unfortunately to answer your 1st question--yep.
As for the login attempt, using an educated guess on the correct variables from navaho's suggestion:
mysqldump: Got error: 1130: Host '69.42.xx.xx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server when trying to connect
I guess that implies SSH is not available from my IP and may be limited to an IP range or turned off. I have to use SSH since that's what the new server is using.
