Bash: Download MySQL database from cPanel to development server
Raw
download-cpanel-database.sh
#!/bin/bash
# This is a script I used to download my live site database onto my development
# server when I used a web host that used cPanel, but didn't give me access to
# mysqldump over SSH (because they had Jailshell enabled).
# Note: The database name (DBNAME) excludes the account name prefix - i.e.
# "dbname" not "sitename_dbname".
