[ubuntu-uk] mySQL over ssh tunnel?

[Stuart Bird]

<Or is the data un-encrypted>

I believe it is un-encrypted, however someone with more experience may be able to confirm that for you.

<I'm guessing that using an SSH tunnel (something i've never done
 before)>

I have used this how-to at work (where I had to use Windows) to connect to a MySql server at home via putty and an SSH tunnel:

If it doesn't completely answer your question it may help point you in the right direction :)
