Hum. This would be helpful apart from the blindingly obvious self-contradiction. You say “The mySQL DBMS for both the server must use same version.” Then you list your server environments as

Windows Server is using Server version: 5.0.37-community-nt MySQL Community Edition (GPL) .
Linux Server is using Server version: 5.0.45-community MySQL Community Edition (GPL) .

Doesnt look like the same version? Maybe you mean same major version? i.e MySQL 5.0 ?

Steve – Thanks for your correction, major version will be more percise.

GuTi : Yeah thank you for highlighting mysqldump Unfortunately at that time, we are too lazy to do the mysqldump thingy. So we want to satisfy our curiosity that mysql raw data and schema can be moved from one location to another without using mysqldump, the experiment did paid off.. proves that even ftp from windows to linux OS, mysql db still runs

Captcha, wait till got too many spambot can bypass… then i will change LOL

why not mysqldump then import? will it be easier? transfer via a zipped .sql can save bandwidth too.

OOT: the captcha sucks, please change another plugin or anything.
