Exporting MySQL

Hi,
I'm trying to export my MySQL databases but this keeps happening:

Quote:

---

[root@sftrhost sftr]# mysqldump -u mysql -p formyeyesonly sftr > FILE.sql
Enter password:
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user: 'mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES) when trying to connect

---

What am I doing wrong?

You're leaving a space between the -p and the password. It has to be typed as a single argument "mysqldump -u mysql -pformyeyesonly sftr".
