How do I replicate this simple SSH command for port-forwarding MySQL

mysql -u USER -p DATABASE --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3307

Any suggestions? I'm just starting to use Core Tunnel. Any docs that you could point me to would be most helpful.

Update: This seems to work now. Not sure what the problem was, but it's working and that's what matters. Thanks!
