Hi, I recently got a request to transfer databases from a Microsoft Server to an online Amazon Web Services (AWS) server. I was able to export all the data from MySQL Workbench and use phpMyAdmin to import the data into that AWS instance. The issue is that my AutoIT program uses a MySQL UDF (see: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>) and it uses ODBC connectors. When I changed the string containing the path of the server from "localhost" to the provided IP address, it could not detect any connection, even though I could access that IP address from my Chrome browser and access phpMyAdmin. I am also wondering and searching for how do I really use PuTTY.exe and PSftp.exe as well as the private key to connect via SSH in the background. How do I accomplish this with AutoIT? Is this approach recommended, or is there a more elegant and secure way of connecting to AWS EC2 instance with AutoIT? Additionally, is it necessary to tweak some settings in AWS (eg. my.conf) to enable incoming connections from specified IP addresses? Thanks!
