Instructions

There are two ways to log into your MySQL account. You can use client software or command prompt, or by using a web browser.

Client software or command prompt

1. Using an SSH client such as SecureFX or SecureCRT, or the ssh command, log in to guru.itap.purdue.edu.

2. At the prompt, type: mysql -h mydb.ics.purdue.edu -p

3. At the 'Enter password:' prompt, type the password for your MySQL account (this will not be your regular career account password).

Web Browser
