hola,

This should work on most systems.
If it does not work, you should try to find a more priviledged user-account.

1) Create a new table "name" with one huge character or text field;

2) Insert your favourite string .. INSERT INTO name VALUES("whatever you want");

3) Select above into file .. SELECT * FROM name INTO OUTFILE '/dir/file.ext';

if you have a web-server running on the same machine it should be possible to create a server-side script (asp,php,ssi oO.) for your intention.

if this specific account is not allowed to use "INTO OUTFILE" try to escalate the privs.

Hi everybody.
I need to demonstrate not only the capability to drop databases and >modify
data, but to execute system commands and/or get files not accesable >via
web-server.
