I'm trying via SSH to restore a 400 MB+ db dumped from elsewhere but just get a mysql help/info spiel spat back at me. There are no errors.

This is my first time using SSH, here's my command:
  • mysql -u username -p password databasename < file.sql

What's going wrong? :confused:


Edit: Tried again without including PW, which it then requested and db is now on it's way to it's destination.

If you want to use your password on the command line in one go, dont put a space between -p and the password :)
