this solution worked for me   On your remote machine  example  295 13 12 53  has access to your target remote machine  which runs mysql server   ssh -f -L 295 13 12 53 3306 10 18 81 36 3306 user 295 13 12 53   Explained   ssh -f -L your ssh mashine ipaddress your ssh mashine local port target ipaddress target port user your ip address -N   your ssh mashine ipaddress - it is not local ip address  it is ip address that you ssh to  in this example 295 13 12 53  your ssh mashine local port -this is custom port not 22  in this example it is 3306   target ipaddress - ip of the machine that you trying to dump DB   target port - 3306 this is real port for MySQL server   user your ip address - this is ssh credentials for the ssh mashine that you connect  Once all this done then go back to your machine and do this   mysqldump -h 295 13 12 53 -P 3306 -u username -p db name  gt  dumped db sql   Will ask for password  put your password and you are connected  Hope this helps

To directly login to a remote mysql console  use the below command  mysql -u  username  -p  password         -h  remote server ip or name  -P  port        -D  DB name   For example mysql -u root -p root            -h 127 0 0 1 -P 3306           -D local  no space after -p as specified in the documentation It will take you to the mysql console directly by switching to the mentioned database

This one worked for me in mysql 8  replace hostname with your hostname and port number with your port number   you can also change your mysql user if he is not root         mysql --host host name --port port number -u root -p   Further Information Here

try telnet 3306  If it doesn t open connection  either there is a firewall setting or the server isn t listening  or doesn t work    run netstat -an on server to see if server is up   It s possible that you don t allow remote connections  See http   www cyberciti biz tips how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server html

mysql servers are usually configured to listen only to localhost  127 0 0 1   where they are used by web applications   If that is your case but you have SSH access to your server  you can create an ssh tunnel and connect through that   On your local machine  create the tunnel    ssh -L 3307 127 0 0 1 3306 -N  user  remote host    this example uses local port 3307  in case you also have mysql running on your local machine and using the standard port 3306   Now you should be ale to connect with  mysql -u  user -p -h 127 0 0 1 -P 3307

I assume you have MySQL installed on your machine  Execute the command below after filling missing details   mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD -hHOSTNAME -P3306

If you want to not use ssh tunnel  in my cnf or mysqld cnf you must change 127 0 0 1 with your local ip address  192 168 1 100  in order to have access over the Lan  example bellow    sudo nano  etc mysql mysql conf d mysqld cnf   Search for bind-address in my cnf or mysqld cnf  bind-address               127 0 0 1   and change 127 0 0 1 to 192 168 1 100   local ip address    bind-address               192 168 1 100   To apply the change you made  must restart mysql server using next command   sudo  etc init d mysql restart   Modify user root for lan acces   run the query s bellow in remote server that you want to have access    root 192 168 1 100    mysql -u root -p       CREATE USER  root      IDENTIFIED BY  password   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     TO  root      WITH GRANT OPTION  FLUSH PRIVILEGES    If you want to have access only from specific ip address   change  root      to  root     ip address or hostname    CREATE USER  root   192 168 1 100  IDENTIFIED BY  password   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     TO  root   192 168 1 100  WITH GRANT OPTION  FLUSH PRIVILEGES    Then you can connect   nobus xray    mysql -h 192 168 1 100 -u root -p   tested on ubuntu 18 04 server

I was too getting the same error  But found it useful by creating new mysql user on remote mysql server ans then connect  Run following command on remote server   CREATE USER  openvani   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  some pass   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     TO  openvani   localhost WITH GRANT  OPTION  CREATE USER  openvani      IDENTIFIED BY  some pass   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     TO  openvani      WITH GRANT OPTION  FLUSH PRIVILEGES    Now you can connect with remote mysql with following command   mysql -u openvani -h  any ip address -p   Here is the full post   http   openvani com blog connect-remotely-mysql-server
