Rackspace Cloud Files Ftp

Connect by using the database Hostname string (private access within the same Rackspace region)

If you have additional Rackspace cloud resources, such as Cloud Servers andCloud Load Balancers, you can use the database Hostname string to create a private connectionfrom these resources to your database. To use this connectionmethod, you must locate the resources in the same region. This connection methoddoes not incur bandwidth charges. Consider this when choosing a region forCloud Servers, Cloud Load Balancers, and Cloud Databases.

Connect using an ssh tunnel (public access)

Azure Sftp Cloud Service

You can create a secure connection to a Cloud Server by using an SSHtunnel.After you connect to your server, you can use the MySQL® client, ora similar tool, to manage your database. This method lets you connect external,non-Rackspace resources to your Cloud Database.

Connect using a Cloud Load Balancer (public access)

This connection method places a Cloud Load Balancer in front of your databaseand provides public access to your database. If the load balancer and databaseare in the same region, no bandwidth charges incur for this connection.Any data sent outside of the data center incurs normal bandwidth charges.
