Something is wrong with the spackler.
Do not use putty, just go to the Windows command prompt, go to the folder where mysql.exe, mysqldump.exe, etc. eat and just type this command.
Remember, never try to take a dump from the MYSQL> command line MYSQL>
C: \ xampp \ mysql \ bin> mysqldump -h [HOST] --port = [PORT] -u [USERNAME] -p [DBNAME]> E: [FILENAME] .sql
Enter password: ------
Worked great !!
