SSH Tunnel for MySQL Import and Navicat Support

asked Nov 19, 2021 in Feature Request by stemithy (260 points)

I would like to pull down the schema for all my projects, but they all require an SSH tunnel to access (without replicating them all). My go-to MySQL client is Navicat which has SSH tunnel capability; so, having support for SSH tunnels, Navicat, or both would help me out a lot.

Great product btw. Thanks!

Hello,
thank you for the feature suggestion.

Unfortunately, SSH tunneling isn't currently supported. We can check MYSQL drivers if they support it but I think there was some issue with that (maybe this wasn't available at all or there were some problems with that).

As an alternative, you can use Putty and SSH port tunneling, which allows you to connect to remote SSH systems and forward ports.

Regarding Navicat, what kind of support would you need? Do you mean import from Navicat format to Skipper?
