Skip the username and password part too. On the toolserver, mysqldump
should be pulling your username & password from the config file.
Specify the host (as by default, it won't connect to the local machine
which is running no db). The standard format is listing the database
as an argument, then all tables as following arguments.

$ mysqldump -h sql u_fuzkabir university > ~/public_html/university.sql

That was verified with my own table / db names.
