Both have root access. I am using putty to perform this.

So far I tried the following:

mysqldump -u root -p >z*x311a!@ masdagn_joom15 | mysql \ -u root -p g2154hE6-AsXP --host=207.210.71.26 -C masdagn_joom15temp \g

but it refused

the local password is: >z*x311a!@

the remote password is: g2154hE6-AsXP
