You must have the FILE privilege, and the server must > have permission to write files in the directory that you specify. > In other words, you've probably found a loophole that allows you do do serverside dumps remotely using mysqldump :-) Given that this is not what you intended, I suggest you either remove the -T and get SQL-format dumps; or go through the documentation again and find another way to do what you want :-) -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel --002215048f630368c8048f439a49--
