Using Command Line (SSH) to import your MySQL database

The file must be in .sql format. It can not be compressed in a .zip or .tar.gz file.

Upload the SQL file to the server via the file manager or an FTP client.
If the database does not exist, please create a database, a user, and give the user full privileges to the database. Note the username and password.
Log into the server through SSH
Navigate to the directory where your .sql file is.
Type in this command:
mysql -p -u user_name database_name < file.sql (replace 'user_name', 'database_name', and 'file.sql' with the actual name.)
You will be prompted for your database user password, and then your database will be imported.
