I need to connect to the server "http://ec2-52-57-235-167.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com/" . I have the server's username and password access. I tried accessing from Filezilla but it says the "Invalid protocols specified."
What is the recommended way to access this server remotely from the internet so that I can access its files and edit its contents.
The server is hosted online now I want to access it from my local machine.
P.S. I also tried to find out the I.P address of this url but can't seem to figure out by the command "Tracert" in the command line.
Thanks.
Install putty and access the server with SSH connection. Filezilla won't work due to precedence of protocols.

I am unable to access an AWS server on various software -- Microsoft Remote Desktop, MySQLWorkbench and DBeaver. The credentials are correct and the same as those of my teammates and they are able to access the server. It resolves the hostname to be the IP address and not the host address, which is strange. In the dialog box attached, it should say that Access is denied to admin# but it says admin instead.
I have tried uninstalling and installing MySQLWorkbench multiple times. I uninstalled and installed the mysql library. I have tried changing the my.cnf files but that doesn't help either. I have a suspicion that it may be something on the server-side (AWS). I looked at the AWS console and it allows access to all IP addresses. I have tried a lot of things and still face the issue of the hostname being resolved to the local IP.
Can you please help me out?

I'm trying to connect my local MySQL to a test 2nd generation MySQL instance on Google SQL platform using the following command on my windows laptop.
mysql --host=130.211.xx.xx --port=3306 --user=root --password
I double checked my IP address with whatismyIPaddress.
I can connect via Google Cloud Shell on the Google Platform itself and also ping the IP address from the local cmd prompt.
As a troubleshooting step I have disabled the local firewalls on my laptop and granted full access to 0.0.0.0/0 to allow all connections on the google platform console.
still no joy from either a cmd line connection on windows or using a putty client, can anyone give me any further pointers on the missing step?
Cheers..
If you are behind a NAT your IP might change which prevents you from accessing the Cloud SQL instance. I would recommend setting up access using SSL certificate. More information about the setup can be found in this Help Center article.
You may need to allow remote connections to your remote database in the server and database configuration. These kinds of connections are typically disabled by default.
I have tried many ways to debug my remote server but I am unable to do so. My ftp and sftp and remote db is configures to my phpstorm 9 but I cannot debug my remote server it is connecting to my mamp server and debugging ,y local files but not connecting to server username and password . Basically it fails at mysql_connect but works for mamp.How can I make it deubug with server.Everything else is synced with server but I cannot debug. I really appreciate any help.
Edit: Should I install x-debug on my server(cpanel) also ?
php.ini
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/opt/php55-xdebug/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
Maybe I didn't understand your question/problem. These are the ways you can debug your code
Debug the local code that uses the local database
This is the easiest setup and it probably already works on your system. You have all the files on the local computer and also you have an instance of MySQL running on it. The code connects to localhost:3306, the xdebug extension is installed and it can connect to PhpStorm, everybody is happy.
Debug the local code that uses the remote database
You can have all the PHP files on localhost and use the local mamp stack to debug it; you control the environment, xdebug works and happily collaborates with PhpStorm. You want the code to be able to use the remote (live) database.
In this case you need a way to access the database. Either you create a MySQL user that allows you to connect from the IP address of the local computer (a firewall along the way might prevent this), or start a ssh session that creates a tunnel from the local port 3306 (or any other open port you choose) to port 3306 of the database server (assuming the host where you ssh is allowed to connect to it). You can do this by running
ssh user#remote_host -L 3306:database_host:3306
(replace user, remote_host and database_host with your actual values)
If you have a MySQL server installed and running on localhost then the local port 3306 is not open and ssh cannot use it as the source port of the tunnel. Use another port instead (let's say you use 13306):
ssh user#remote_host -L 13306:database_host:3306
Modify the local configuration files of your application to use localhost as database server and 13306 as database port.
Debug the remote code
If you want to debug the live code (it uses the live database) then you have to upload the code on the web server (the live environment) and make it work there (be able to connect to the database etc).
In order to be able to debug it you need to have the xdebug PHP extension installed on the server and properly configured in the server's php.ini configuration file.
The debugger (the remote xdebug extension) needs to connect to your local computer where PhpStorm is listening on port 9000. This is either impossible or making it happen requires changing configuration here and there in several places (that might be out of your control); we better forget about it.
We can use the ssh tunnel trick: start a ssh connection to the server that creates a tunnel from local port 9000 to the servers port 9000:
ssh user#remote_host -L 9000:localhost:9000
Test if it works
PhpStorm provides a tool that uploads a script on the web server then tries to access it to check if the xdebug extension is properly configured. Depending on the version of PhpStorm you use, you can find it either in the menu (Run -> Web Server Debug Validation, on PhpStorm 9) or somewhere in the Settings (PHP -> Servers or around, on older versions).
I have installed MySQL on Ubuntu using SSH and would like to connect phpMyAdmin installed on a Windows machine.
I tried to add a server like standard server, but I can not log in to MySQL server using SSH.
Does phpMyAdmin support to connect a remote server using SSH? If yes, how can I configure a private key for phpMyAdmin or do I need a SSH client for this?
I think there's a bit of misunderstanding that might be hindering you sorting this out.
SSH is the Secure Shell protocol, which allows a user to remotely access the command line of a server. You can access MySQL via SSH by using SSH to start a command line session on the server and using the mysql command line client as if you were at the machine directly.
phpMyAdmin can connect to a local MySQL instance (where MySQL and your webserver run on the same machine) or connect to another machine through the network (where MySQL is running on one machine and your webserver is running on another -- the connection in this case is via the the port used by MySQL itself, 3306). In either case, you can access phpMyAdmin itself from any browser on the network; it just appears as any web page. The communication between MySQL and phpMyAdmin can be encrypted (via SSL) if you wish, but still happens via MySQL communication and not over SSH. At no point is SSH used for the communication from the web server to the MySQL server.
So in your case, since you wish to install phpMyAdmin on the Windows box, you'd simply edit your config.inc.php to connect to the IP address or hostname of the Ubuntu server with the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'hostname'; directive, using the actual hostname instead. You'd then access phpMyAdmin from anywhere on the network by using the hostname or IP address of the Windows machine.
If, instead, you wish to install phpMyAdmin on to the Ubuntu machine, you could use the host name 'localhost' in config.inc.php and then access phpMyAdmin from the Windows machine (or any other machine) using the Ubuntu IP address/host name in your web browser.
It all depends which machine you wish to be the web server. phpMyAdmin runs under IIS or Apache runs under Windows, but Ubuntu makes installing all the programs easy through the package manager, so that's what I generally do in this situation.
Hope that helps clear it up a bit.
My local machine is not connected to internet. However, I have a server on local network which I can connect via SSH. This server is directly connected to internet. I do not have the admin privileges on the server, so I cannot install a browser on it. However, I can download web pages on it using wget. I was wondering if there exists a way so that I can browse internet using a regular browser installed on my local machine.
If you have SSH access to the server you can try using it as a proxy.
ssh -D 8765 user#host
Then you need to set a SOCKS5 proxy on your browser pointing to 127.0.0.1:8765 and you'll be ready to browse the Internet as long as the SSH connection is alive.
The port 8765 is used just for example. You can use any port between 1025 and 65535.
If it's allowing you to get webpages with wget, you might want to see if the server is set up to be a proxy server.
