I’m trying to move a joomla site from one person’s hosting account to another.

I’m trying to move a joomla site from one person’s hosting account to another. Thus I’m really limited in which tools I have.

The problem I’m having to trying to get access to the mysql database. I don’t have access to ssh, cpanel, phpmyadmin, or anything else of the nature, just joomla admin and ftp access.

However joomla gives me some database settings.
But when I try to connect to the given hostname, nothing happens.
I’m trying something like and it just hangs

mysql -u myusername -h thegivendomain.db.3456321.hostedresource.com jos_giventable name

I even tried digging the hostname and tried using the ip for the hostname.

and ideas?

    Install the free Akeeba Backup it will make a complete copy of the website that you can download. Upload that to the new server and install with their Kickstart script.

    Run Kickstart from any browser on the new host and follow the steps.
