Actually you won't connect to the database server via ssh; you would use
the 'mysql' command-line tools on arklinux to populate the database.

You should be able to take one of those databases and do:

mysql -u username -p -h db1.osuosl.org --database yourdb < yourdata.sql

and then enter the password and it will upload the data to the database.

You can also use phpmyadmin at https://emma.osuosl.org/db1/ to connect
to the database and manipulate it.
