Is there a pure .Net way to connect to a firewalled database server (in this case, MySQL in Linux, where connection can only be done through Linux socket). What I currently do is to run an intermediary application first, such as Putty or Plink to open up an SSH connection.

Thank you.
 
I know you can connect but through a firewall that says block the
port or whatever?

Not sure what you mean ..can you explain some more?
 
The MySQL server is in Linux platform which denies direct connection to any ports other than 80 and 22, except through SSH (port 22). That means, I have to get authenticated by Linux first before I can communicate with MySQL (tunneled through port 22).
 
I guess you don't have control to open up the server port settings or
just would rather not..Sorry I'm at a loss to help.
