I haven't done this with EC2, but unless there's something weird with the EC2 SSH implementation, you should just be able to forward port 3306 to a suitable local port and connect. Like this: ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 [email protected] In this example, 3307 on your computer would then be 3306 on the EC2 server.
