mysqldump access denied

Question

When I try to backup using mysqldump from ssh, I run the following command on machine 10.64.1.1. It gives the following error.

mysqldump --user=test -p=passwor

Answer 1

One more possible cause can be the place you are trying to create dump. Writing mysqldump -u[username] -p yourdb > D:\backup\sqlfile.sql instead of mysqldump -u[username] -p yourdb > sqlfile.sql resolved my problem.
