LOAD DATA INFILE on remote machine

Question

How would I do the following command, with a local file, on a remote database (different machine) ?

$MYSQL_PATH/mysql -u root -h remote.net files -e \"
    LOAD          


        

Answer 1

LOAD DATA INFILE loads a file on machine the MySQL server is running on.

Use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE to load a file located on your client machine.

$MYSQL_PATH/mysql -u root -h remote.net files --local-infile=1 -e "
    LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE...
