    External data from remote connection?

    Hello kind people!

    I have Windows remote connection to server: blablabla-chicago.gotdns.org:12345 user: wind

    Then, i have to log into program on that server(user: calm pass: 54321), probably that program is based on sql, don't know.

    How can i get data in excel from that program on remote server?


    I have latest Office2013 and PowerQuerry

    Thanks in advance, God Bless!

    Don0t know how.

    So, application is on remote server: blablabla-chicago.gotdns.org:12345

    My in app credentials are: calm pass:54321
    App is probably based on sql. I have limited access to server, only to application.

    Application(program): user: calm pass:54321


    RDC(remote desktop connection)

    Re: External data from remote connection?

    So let's sum up a little bit.

    I have a connection to remote server(desktop) address is: blablabla-chicago.gotdns.org:12345
    User is: wind

    On that remote server i have access to a application(program) as: calm pass:somepassword
    So i assume that app is sql based.

    First i need to discover database of that application to find their names

    Re: External data from remote connection?

    with your data I assume you need to know database name (and pass if necessary but probably not)
    then use Excel on this server (if exist)

    i can't check more, sorry

    Yes, i thought so.
    It can only if server is local. This is remote server i don't know database names, i only have access to application not server(PC) entirely.

    yadayada-london.gotdns.org:somenumbers is just example of server RDC adress
