I think it should be: #mysqldump --host=the.remotedatabase.com -u yourusername -p yourdatabasename > /Users/rick/backups/foo.sql @Philip: I have copied your command to my terminal and it ends up with the wrong sort of hyphen.

The correct syntax is: #mysqldump –-host=the.remotedatabase.com -u yourusername -p yourdatabasename > /Users/rick/backups/foo.sql Hi Rick,
You left out a ‘-’ before the host. The correct syntax is:

#mysqldump –-host=the.remotedatabase.com -u yourusername -p yourdatabasename > /Users/rick/backups/foo.sql
