  I'm logging in using my normal ftp info to the remote server
  
  ie
  
  ftp: http://ftp.mywebsite.com
  
  username: username
  
  pwd: something
  
  and i get this error message
  
  Error NO. 2003
  
  Can't conect to MYSQL server on 'ftp.mywebsite.org' (10060)
  
  any idea why or how?

  Contact your ISP and ask them if you CAN connect to the MySQL server from the outside (Some do not allow this) and if so, what the hostname, login and password are. It would be foolhardy of them to have setup your ftp and your mysql login and passwords exactly the same.

  Besides, it would be quite unusual to have MySql running on the FTP server…

  I get virtually the same message (mine says Error NO. 2003
  
  Can't conect to MYSQL server on 'mysite.com'(10061)
  
  I'm trying to hook up to coolfreepages.com. They given me:
  - database name
  - account name and password
  I'm not having any luck, although it all worked fine on my local machine.
  
  Like Abbood, I log into an FTP site.
  
  Any searches I've done so far on the net, only show how to setup locally, and don't show or describe how to setup for a “real” MYSQL server.
  
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Basically it's the same, the only difference is the hostname. If you have a local MySql server then hostname may be either your computer's name/IP address or 'localhost'/127.0.0.1 , while connecting to a remote server you will need the exact hostname or the IP address.
  
  You should also ask whether direct connection is enabled, if not, then you may have to use ssh tunneling.
