MySql Remote Access

[mehreen]

I have designed a sms web application hosted on powweb.
No i am developing a desktop application in which i want to connect with the same database
In my web application i am setting the host name as
mehreen.powwebmysql.com

also setting user name and passoword.

It is working fine but in desktop application i am using the same information with port 3306.
it is not working.
What is the way of setting the database to access remotely.
Need quick reply
Thanks

PowWeb doesn't allow you to connect to them remotely for better security. You can create a database on your desktop, export the database on PowWeb and import it to your desktop. You can create an admin script to allow people to import, export and modify the database on PowWeb but you can't use a remote app to do that.
