title: Where do mysqldump files end up?
body: <p>I just made a backup, but cannot find where it ended up, and find isn't turning up a hit.</p>
  
  <p>The command I used was</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysqldump -u root -p myDbName &gt; myDBFile.sql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The backup took about 20 mins, and then console returned to </p>
  
  <pre><code>root@server [~]#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So if I look at root via ftp, where would that file have ended up?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time and help.</p>
