  Do I need port 3306 to be opened in order to use SQLYog? what is the security implication if i use port 3306? can I change this port to some other port number?
  
  thank you in advance for any feedback.

  No you don't need to open port 3306 to run SQLyog!
  
  If you run a MySQL server on your local machine and want to allow direct connection from a remote client then you must open port 3306 – no matter what client is used for connection.

  You won't “transfer files from SQLyog” to access a MySQL server. SQLyog is a client. SQLyog has no database files of its owm. It is not like Access.
  
  You also do not open port 80 to use a webbrowser! It is accurately the same!
