5.5.9.6 Connecting to MySQL Remotely from Windows with SSH
Here is a note about how to connect to get a secure connection to remote MySQL server with SSH (by David Carlson

Install an SSH client on your Windows machine. As a user, the best non-free one I've found is from SecureCRT from
http://www.vandyke.com/. Another option is f-secure from
http://www.f-secure.com/. You can also find some free ones on Google at
http://directory.google.com/Top/Comp...ents/Windows/.
Start your Windows SSH client. Set Host_Name = yourmysqlserver_URL_or_IP. Set userid=your_userid to log in to your server. This userid value may not be the same as the username of your MySQL account.
Set up port forwarding. Either do a remote forward (Set local_port: 3306, remote_host: yourmysqlservername_or_ip, remote_port: 3306 ) or a local forward (Set port: 3306, host: localhost, remote port: 3306).
Save everything, otherwise you'll have to redo it the next time.
Log in to your server with the SSH session you just created.
On your Windows machine, start some ODBC application (such as Access).
Create a new file in Windows and link to MySQL using the ODBC driver the same way you normally do, except type in localhost for the MySQL host server--not yourmysqlservername.
You should now have an ODBC connection to MySQL, encrypted using SSH.
